Alex Salmond Trial Verdict

Aspen Don't blame the women!

We have to take some responsibility for our own safety, even if it is wearing woolly vests.

The heating would not be functioning in only one room. Central heating works from a central boiler, unless one radiator was leaking, Heating is either working or it isn't.

Still, I did work in the heating and ventilating industry for some years.

Maybe he turned down the thermostat on the radiators to give the impression the heating wasn’t working.

Well I think that he is just so full of charm, personality and is soooo charismatic that women can’t help but fall for him and when they were rebuffed they all went to the Police.
All 9 of them .....
What other explanation could there possibly be? ?

ummmmmmmmmm, pass

Forgot to mention his film star looks....

You have the wrong man ?

Your probably right, he’s definitely a wrong un

Although of course an innocent one as found by a Jury, before I get jumped on.

An innocent randy , can’t keep his hands off one

Hmmmmmmmmmmm

Not the devoted couple were they?

Oopsadaisy !

The jury didn’t believe the women and that is the end if it.

It’s the end of it for Salmond, not for the women or his wife
unless she knew

Ah! You must be one of those who think you know better than those jury members who sat through the whole trial and listened to all the evidence.

No, but is everyone lying when they say he wasn’t safe for a woman to be alone with, I do think he was a groper.

My late MiL was like that. When William Roache was found not guilty she reckoned he’d got away with it. She’d never met the man, but didn’t ‘like the look of him’.

Pikachu- it is far from the end of it!

In any civilised democratic society, it is the law which protects all who reside in that society. It is parliament that lays down what those laws should be and how it should be implemented.

In the case of Alex Salmon the law and justice system took its course and Salmon was found not guilty in the eyes of the selected jury who heard all the evidence against him.

Therefore, end of story.

There is no other system that offers protection and justice to all and therefore to keep questioning that justice system because some may not like a verdict(s) serves as nothing but to weaken confidence in a system to which there is no alternative.

As stated, Alex Salmon was found not guilty by a jury who heard all the evidence against him and therefore all should support that verdict.

Some of the accusations were so flimsy that I can't understand how the prosecution had the nerve to use them. Anyone going to a man's bedroom knows something is not right and if she doesn't leave then where should the blame lie?
The impression I get is that he is a sleazy politician with wandering hands who made use of his position to be over familiar with women. Many of us have met men like that. The charges were ridiculous and should not have resulted in a trial.
The motivation can only be political.

I don't believe the women lied,; as Esspee said, the accusations were so flimsy they were not going to prove the charge of sexual assault.

Sexual harassment, yes, and now this unpleasant man has been exposed for what he is, one hopes he will not be allowed to hold a public position again.
If he is,and he reverts to this behaviour, it is up to any woman expected to work with him to slap him down, literally and figuratively.

Agree Esspee
