Stories are stories ... unfortunately social media posts and high stool chat don't carry any burden in a legal case. Regardless of what people heard, thought , read etc RG is entitled to his presumption of innocence. It is what our entire legal system is built on.

Im sorry I feel a bit uninformed on this one. What is the evidence thats causing people to presume guilt in Rory? Is it just anecdotes from others that say hes a bit of c*nt?

(Not saying I believe hes innocent. Just want to understand why theres so much hatred towards him)

What his wife posted on Facebook at the time was specific to a couple of events and pretty graphic. What she said was supported by a comment under her post from another woman saying that she took her to the hospital one of those nights. Obviously wasn't enough to convict him in court but plenty of people choose to believe it.

Usually when innocent people are accused of serious offences such a woman-beating they come out strongly defending their reputation. His ex wife and friend may just be very convincing liars and RG totally innocent, but from the outset he hasn't given me the impression that the allegations are totally false.

Indeed but people also ignore relevant factors such as three decisions not to prosecute. Two in the north and one in the south, as well as a court fact finding on a balance of probability basis.

I've no idea what happened and can't make any judgement one way or the other but I remain concerned that some on both sides seem willing to ignore very relevant information.

Time to lock up this thread or take it out of the Derry section of the forum. This has nothing to do with Derry. Still way too much speculation about the ins and outs of all this. The thread on the Armagh situation was locked up pretty sharp so why isn't this one?

Are you actually serious? I can't believe my eyes ... who cares what a comment under a Facebook post said... it's all hearsay. No arrest ... no conviction. Move on.

What's mad is that someone can say something on social media and it becomes a a talking point, some believe others don't, all depending on their view on life.
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought.
