The jury failed to reach verdicts on all the charges against him and the prosecution is seeking to retry those.That'll put the cat amongst the pigeons!
A new trial is set for 26 June after the jurors could not reach verdicts on one count of rape and one of attempted rape.The jury failed to reach verdicts on three counts of rape and three counts of sexual assault against him and the prosecution is seeking to retry those.
So no cat amongst the pigeons just yet.
Jury vote was 11-0 not guilty of six counts of rape and one count of sexual assault.so he was found neither guilty nor not guilty as a verdict was not reached?
innocent until proven guilty, whilst sometimes unpalatable, has to be maintained in all cases.
Are you sure it's three and three? I thought it was being reported as one and one.Jury vote was 11-0 not guilty of six counts of rape and one count of sexual assault.
Couldn't reach 10-1 (either way obviously) to make a decision on the remaining three counts of rape and three counts of sexual assault.

Agree with this.He should never have been named until found guilty.
Spot on.He should never have been named until found guilty.
how would City have explained it?He should never have been named until found guilty.
Why would they need to explain anything other than release a statement saying he's not in the squad for internal reasons.how would City have explained it?
Papers would have put two and two together as would the fans. This sort of thing cant be hidden away.Why would they need to explain anything other than release a statement saying he's not in the squad for internal reasons.

Extraordinary. Serious questions to answer for the CPS.Another woman told police Mendy and his friend Louis Saha Matturie, who was described in court as the footballer’s “fixer”, had both raped her at another house party the next day, on 24 July 2021. All charges relating to her were dropped mid-trial on the judge’s orders after a video emerged of her having “enthusiastic and obviously consensual sex” with Matturie.
Exactly. Especially as half the squad seemed to get called as witnesses.Papers would have put two and two together as would the fans. This sort of thing cant be hidden away.
Isn't there an Arsenal player who hasn't been charged yet but is under investigation and on police bail. This means he hasn't officially been named yet?He should never have been named until found guilty.
Was just in the middle of typing the same thing. His name is well known but has never been released publicly.Isn't there an Arsenal player who hasn't been charged yet but is under investigation and on police bail. This means he hasn't officially been named yet?
Not going to speculate about his name as that would be wrong.
