If his conviction is quashed then it's likely his travel restriction will be lifted. He'd be wise to go and play elsewhere.
He shouldn't have to play elsewhere, the media basically found him guilty.

Yet somehow there was enough evidence to convince a jury to decide he's guilty beyond a reasonable doubt...
The prosecution's meant to convince them he's guilty, the defence is meant to convince them he's not guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. You're actually crying about the prosecution doing their job? What should the prosecution have done? The defence's job? Sat in a circle holding hands and singing Kumbaya?
You've milked that before in another thread. Poor trolling, 1/10.
One, or more, of the jurors was in contempt of court? What are you saying happened?
Isnt this entire case based on her word vs his word. Not sure what actual hard evidence was presented. So basically at the time the jurors believed her and not him.
Honestly no, what is it, I keep forgetting?
Do you honestly think I'd get it wrong on purpose to make myself look foolish?
Actually we never got a definitive answer in this thread - http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18675566
Not a law student. Know a few.
That question looks like it was answered in the first couple of pages no?
GD: Home of the circular discussion
I do not want to be drawn back in to this 'debate', my opinion is clearly stated.
Regardless; there was evidence....
The thing to do, as with all threads in GD, is to filter out the incorrect rambling opinions of ***** who chat rubbish, and focus on the posters who are usually right. It's quite easy to do that.

Nope she has no recollection of the events at all, the whole case is based on her being to drunk to haven consented.
yes and no, legally yes, realistically it's based entirely upon a few things, that people don't like to accept they will act differently while black out drunk, that it's near impossible to know how drunk someone is in most cases and that morally speaking it's easier to believe she didn't want to have sex with a second guy because most of the people on the jury either wouldn't or won't accept that many people will.
Get black out drunk and drive a car into three people, deal with the consequences, get black out drunk and bang someone... if you're a man you accept the responsibility of your actions when you choose to get drunk, if you're a woman, you're absolved of all responsibility now.
Case was a joke from start to finish, punishing a guy because it's not morally acceptable to suggest a woman would choose to sleep with a second guy, put someone in jail and label him a rapist and her a victim because he did something kind of scummy that they wouldn't do?
The word for women who sleep around a lot (and is apparently banned) is a bad word because it has so many negative connotations. There is precisely nothing wrong with a woman sleeping around, but because woman who do are treated badly no one wants to A admit they behave like that and B no one wants to accuse someone of behaving like that in such a situation no one was willing to suggest there was at least as much of a possibility she wanted to have sex with Evans as him raping her.
She's a frequent black out drunk, frequent drug taker who was absolutely willing to go back and shag a guy who iirc she met while buying food after a night out getting blotto.
He goes to jail because it's impolite to suggest she may have been up for it... utterly ridiculous. He may have raped her, she may have been begging for it. She chose to get in a position to not be able to remember(if she's telling the truth about being unable to remember) and is not willing to accept she may have consented to sex.
How can someone be a rapist because the victim can't remember?
