Graham Holroyd : Thu Mar 20, 2014 7:34 pm  

http://www.examiner.co.uk/news/west-yor ... ue-6851009 Must have been a terrible time for him and his family. Graham was a player when at Leeds we all loved to hate, but, when he was at Halifax he was a favourite. The jury only took one hour to find him not guilty, which makes me wonder why the case was ever brought. I am pleased for Graham at the outcome. Ps Hasn't got on to the Courier website yet, probably will when one of the staff read The Huddersfield Examiner.

They'll be waiting for somebody to tweet it, they'll then add an introductory line and pass it off as a journalistic piece.

Fact is, even though Graham has been found not guilty of all charges. Because of his profile as a public figure, he's had to endure far more press coverage than the average man on the street may get. Yet his accusers still have the right to anonymity. GH has possibly suffered irreversible damage to his reputation which could affect him for a number of years to come.

Baffled how the police expect to get a conviction when the "offence" is only reported 20 years later.

The Police don't have any thing to do with it.
They present their case to the Crown Prosecution, who then decide whether there is a case to answer, it must be very difficult to decide, no case to answer, would seem like sweeping it under the carpet, let the jury decide,
All in all it's very sad.
Any way, back to Rugby League.
What a great weekend in store.
