Dave has asked that people stick to facts, and the thread in the main forum is locked. My very basic legal understanding is that discussing the facts of a case is OK, but giving any opinion on whether people involved are guilty or not could end up being a serious contempt of court issue.

I'd be astounded if West Midlands Police decide to prosecute a random person on the internet for commenting on a court case as high profile as this one.

It's sub judice. Trials have been jeopardised for less.

I'm not disputing the strict legal definition, but search for Dalian Atkinson on Twitter and you'll find thousands of posts about it.

Driving at 31 in a 30 zone is illegal but no one's ever gone to prison for doing it.

I couldn't care less what happens anywhere else. The case is sub judice, so on here we stick to the facts.

Although given the number of very high profile current and ex-players having their say, they'd be arresting an awful lot of people.

Indeed.  God and Ian Taylor will be sharing a cell based on their social media activity.

The Judge is due to begin summing up tomorrow so it should be finished within the next few days, depending on how long the jury is out for.

The issue is that as this is Dave's site he's responsible for what's on here as much as the person posting.

Anyway, the verdict is in now in him. Guilty. Still deciding on her.

I've just come across this. Dalian making Ronald Koeman look a bit silly.
