Inanimate Carbon Rod Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 The CPS could agree to drop some charges if Salmond plead guilty to other lesser charges. By that you could avoid a trial and jail albeit your political career would be over. CPS have no authority in Scotland and there isnt really much of a lesser charge than a s3 sosa in terms of unwanted sexual contact. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to me the kind of offer they would make if they can't actually prove shit. I'm just passing on an alternative possible scenario. If the CPS are so sure they have a cast iron case then they wouldn't offer any deal and go straight to trial. But if they're not so sure, they could go overboard on the charges in the hope the accused admits to a lesser charge 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CPS does not operate in Scotland. From Wiki - The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) is the principal public prosecuting agency for conducting criminal prosecutions in England and Wales. It is headed by the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP). Edited January 25, 2019 by Wee Bully 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprised you can even leave the house such is the massive shitebaggery you display. What a horrible little cretin you are. 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think the Crown will drop the attempted rape charges if Salmond pleads guilty to breach of the peace? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My apologises you are right in what he said. However in these charges where do you draw the line between behaving badly and the threshold of criminal law? If you are fooling around and you touch someone inappropriately she may not object and let you go further or alternately she may slap you in the face and report you for indecent assault. No means no. Where exactly is the line drawn? A very fine line nowdays given Wienstein etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely they would wish to keep a certain rapist locked up and away from the public for as long as possible, despite the time and money involved? Also factoring in who the person is, they would surely wish to set an example? Unless of course, they can't actually prove that he's done anything wrong and are just hoping that he pleads guilty to something. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be anything is better than nothing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
