Bad Robot 21,150 Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 I thought I'd put this here so most Bears know a verdict is coming soon and the Mods can move to the B&F forum as they see fit. I'm unsure how long the jury will sit but perhaps others might take a guess. I also presuming this case is open to an appeal is certain circumstances and again, I'm sure others such BNB will know better than me. If this cunt gets a guilty then our association and clubs really need to have a right look at the way these bastards treated us. The prosecution case against former Rangers owner Craig Whyte has concluded at the High Court in Glasgow. Advocate Depute Alex Prentice QC told the jury of eight men and seven women that no further evidence would be led by the Crown. Mr Whyte is accused of acquiring Rangers by fraud. He denies the charge and another under the Companies Act. A total of 17 witnesses have given evidence so far - including Sir David Murray, Walter Smith and Ally McCoist. During the conclusion of the prosecution's case, Mr Prentice made a number of changes to the charges faced by Mr Whyte, including the date of the alleged fraud. Locations were also deleted from the charges along with a number of individuals said to have been "representatives" of Mr Whyte. Mr Prentice concluded: "With that, I formally close the Crown case." Jurors were then sent away for the day as legal discussions took place. The trial, before judge Lady Stacey, continues. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virtuoso 27,180 Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 I wasn't confident of a conviction prior to the trial starting but held out hope that the prosecution had an ace up their sleeve - but so far, what we've heard hasn't exactly contained bombshell allegations of misdeeds by Whyte. I'm now convinced he's walking. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope I'm wrong. Yes the jury should have been asked for their own allegiances as the cunts hate us and have no shred of decency or morals which is evident with their own looming law trials.

Mate, i was dropping my boy off for a sleepover and the wee rat bastard had been sitting out in the sun all day bevvying so starting thinking he could get wide with his mouth dressed. If there weren't kids present i would have punched his cunt in but i was sober and sensible. The wee idiot usually sits and says fuck all when he is sober.

Reformation Bear 6,453 Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 I'm erring on the side of caution here but my view is to refrain from commenting on the case until it is concluded. Reporting facts as stated in court - as the media has done throughout - is one thing, like those repeated in the OP. But drawing opinion or assumption or conclusion etc from the facts is, imo, best left until after the case has been concluded. From what I've read of the case as reported I'd be surprised if we had to wait long before the case is concluded. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
