@thomasforth The problem is the margins are so tight for many in this sector that they won't have a long term if the short term pressures get any worse.

@HailHydra666 @MrStephenTee @PaulaWright Juries are told they are the same. The terms are used interchangeably.

@danielanadj77 I don't see how this is true. It means he won't get credit for pleading guilty. I don't see how it can also be an aggrevating factor, that seems like double counting?

[Dean Bullen @deanbullen]

@DJstewartwho @EmmalunaC It would be if it were true, but it's not. Judges have been doing this for 20 years.

[Dean Bullen @deanbullen]

@MrStephenTee @PaulaWright It hasn't changed. It's always been any reasonable doubt. If you remove the reasonable you allow for defences of alien abduction or long lost twins. Sure is the same thing, they are interchangeable.

@JamesD74431175 Thanks. Coming from someone who clearly has no idea what the criteria for a successful appeal is that really means a lot. 🙏🏼

@ShippersUnbound What BBC show was this on?

@MontyCristo11 @MovieTalkNOW1 I'm prepared to bet you £100 for charity that these convictions get in under gateway d in any trial in the next 10 years.

[Dean Bullen @deanbullen]

@JeanieThePixie @NormanBrennan In case one of the convictions is subsequently appealed successfully

[Dean Bullen @deanbullen]

@MontyCristo11 @MovieTalkNOW1 And they'd lose

@RyLiberty A not guilty verdict doesn't mean the accusations were false. There are 5 year old kids that know this.

@AmiriKing Rest of his life?! Fuck are you taking about? He'll be out in 6 years (unless he's further convicted)

[Dean Bullen @deanbullen]

@MontyCristo11 @MovieTalkNOW1 Those strict rules allow recent and relevant convictions to be considered as evidence of propensity under Section 101 of the Criminal Justice Act 2003.
