well.. you must be so proud of your comments.

INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY!!!!!!!!!!!!

http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/4348981/Bramble-cleared-of-sexually-assaulting-two-different-women.html

The Sunderland defender was found not guilty by a jury at Teesside Crown Court following a four-day trial.

Bramble, 30, was accused of groping a woman in a nightclub in Yarm, Teesside, before sexually assaulting another in a taxi home.

Bramble told jurors that one of the complainants was “touchy feelie and flirty” and kissed him “passionately” as they shared a taxi from the Cross Keys nightclub.

The Sunderland defender said she kissed him and put her hand on his crotch during the journey.

He said: “We were kissing. We kissed a couple of times passionately.

“She was touching me and putting my hand on her leg.”

But the complainant claimed he twice grabbed her hand and put it on his crotch and placed his hand between her legs, which made her “scared”.

The taxi driver believed something was wrong and drove the pair to a police station where Bramble was arrested, the jurors were told.

Bramble’s defence lawyer Ronnie Jaffa said the woman made the allegation to “save face” after she regretted kissing him.

The other woman, who was in the Cross Keys, said she felt someone grope her bottom and turned to see Bramble.

Bramble, of Wynyard near Middlesbrough, always denied it was him.

She reported the incident after the other woman claimed she was assaulted in a taxi by the Sunderland star, which they caught in Yarm on the same night - September 28 last year.

The footballer, who has played for Ipswich, Newcastle and Wigan Athletic, consistently denied all charges.

A jury of five men and seven women took just over an hour to reach a unanimous verdict.

Bramble, who was wearing a grey suit, showed little emotion as the foreman delivered a not guilty verdict for each charge.

He said nothing to reporters as he left court with his legal team and got into a waiting Mercedes, which sped away.

Now of course we just wait for all of the.. "he got away with it", "its coz hes a footballer", etc etc

ahh, if youve done nothing wrong, youve nothing to fear

This to me is what seems wrong with the British justice system. And i dont mean this case in particular..... It doesnt matter if someone has done something wrong... they can still get away with it The onus is on someone to PROVE they were attacked... its almost like saying they are liars unless they can prove it. Yes of course there is the flipside of the coin where people make false accusations too. And again not in this case if arresting officers/ forensic experts or whoever involved in the case do not follow official protocol to the exact letter then cases can be dropped, guilty people can be set free. It all seems very corrupt to me.

Totally agree.

The onus is on someone to PROVE they were attacked...

Yes, of course it is! Why wouldn't it be?!

"MPH, AdamN says that you tried to whip his tackle out in the Highcross toilets"

"I did no such thing"

"Well he said you did, so on the sex offenders register you go..."

Would you be full of praise for the justice system then?
