Interpolic Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 I thought the jury verdict always had to be unanimous or they throw it out or something? Someone tell the judge to watch 12 Angry Men. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
1964 Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 So if the verdict has to be unanimous if he is found not guilty will that have to be the unanimous view of the jury? Or is that a stupid question? If so I can't see all 12 thinking he is not guilty, albeit based on the anecdotal sketchy stuff we've had so far Or if they cannot agree on a verdict is he therefore found not guilty?

Has to be 12 guilty, 0 not guilty. Even if 11 of them think guitly and 1 not guilty, the verdict will be not guilty Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the jury don't come to a unanimous verdict, the judge will often revise it down later to a majority one (majority being 10-2). If they can't come to a majority, then the jury is declared hung and the trial is over. Prosecution will usually seek a retrial unless there's a good reason not to. Hung juries are pretty rare though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Geordie Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Again, I'm arguing with others who say that Sunderland have legally done nothing wrong. Does morality and ethics not come into it at all? Should Margaret Byrne keep her job and should SAFC have no questions to answer when the trial wraps up?! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

simonsays Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Is there not some legal issue with Sunderland knowingly having a self admitted nonce in a workplace where he will often come into contact with minors? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bimpy474 Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Is there not some legal issue with Sunderland knowingly having a self admitted nonce in a workplace where he will often come into contact with minors? I was wondering that, i mean did he go to give presents to bairns in hospital last x-mas as clubs do. Did the mascots at their games get to meet him. Basically did he get to meet lots of kids as you would do as a professional footballer as part of the job. As it seems he did with the girl in question. There's a lot for Sunderland to explain in that regard. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghandis Flip-Flop Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Could there not be a case that they have conspired to keep him off the register by concealing his plans to plead guilty to at least some of the charges? Again not going to be punished by the FA, but the club have questions to answer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hung juries are pretty rare though. Why would the judge say "The only score is 12-0" if that's not what he meant? Surely I wasnt 'completely' wrong..? If it's not 12-0 at this point, it's not guilty.

What happens after that comes next They could find him not guilty 12-0. The judge means at the moment he will only accept an absolute verdict. In time the jury may be given a majority direction meaning up to two dissenters will be tolerated. If still no verdict then it's a hung Jury. if 11 say guilty and one says not guilty - the verdict at this stage will not be not guilty. It will just mean a verdict hasn't been reached. If the Jury were then given a majority direction the verdict would be guilty. In that respect what you said is completely wrong. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
