It’s old news but bloody hell, were the jury picked from those at the bottom of the dna pool or were they nobbled?

[jno]

Oh yes. I remember it well.

nobbled i reckon, how can they have failed to see that was an impossible act, hard to believe in the justice system in this instance.

[murraymints]

Hmmmm.....money talks..I imagine a very large behind the scenes settlement took place ?

//accidentally penetrated 18-year-old when he tripped and fell on her//
don't you just hate it when that happens

[Old_Geezer]

Sure do. It's the reason I no longer lie naked on park benches.

[Jahulaye]

Old geezer,LOOL! But technically that would mean that you’re the victim.

I think the not guilty verdict had more to do with the fact that both women ,willingly went back to spend the night with him. One of them willingly had sex, so he tried it on with the other one, who objected.
The Daily Mail is noted for only reporting the bits of the story that it wants us to hear. We have not heard the full evidence or the cross examination. I very much doubt that the 'accidental penetration' was the only defence he put up, just the bit the Mail picked out for its band of readers.

[Zacs-Master]

I’m not sure why something over 2 years old is in news, but anyway, from the Independent:
The jury acquitted him in just 30 minutes of deliberations.
Mail Online also reported that Judge Martin Griffiths had allowed Mr Abdulaziz to give evidence in private.

"were the jury picked from those at the bottom of the dna pool or were they nobbled?"

Surely it was the girl that was nobbled?

[EDDIE51]

ZM ,Yes probably a day when the Wail was short of new news with which to outrage its readers. The fact that a jury took just 30 minutes to find him not guilty is significant. Another case of the full facts not being reported to the defence?

[jno]

The full facts weren't known to the Mail, thanks to the unusual decision to hear evidence in private, so I can't blame them for basing their report on what they did hear.

[EDDIE51]

It's possible that the evidence in private caused the judge to direct the jury to give a not guilty verdict. But of course the Wail would not report that .

[anotheoldgit]

Good job he fell on a soft surface, else he could have done himself some serious harm.

Murraymints, money does indeed talk, mine usually says Goodbye.

The Daily Telegraph is currently promoting Saudi Arabia as an holiday destination.

^ Having lived there for 3 years I can confirm the beaches are world class, but no entertainment at all. Even background music in a shop is banned as being entertainment. The diving on the Red Sea coast is the best in the world. Several of the people I worked with only applied for work in Saudi to be able to dive the Red sea coast.

did he also fall backwards onto the hoover at any point?

No, 3T’s being a member of Mensa beats that

[Mamyalynne]

Even some of the replies are repeats.
