Roy Harper – Case reported closed! Hung Jury? Retrial? Dropped?

Roy has been found not guilty on the indecency charge. There is now a report that the case is closed and there are legal negotiations.

All very mysterious. I suspect a hung jury and they are considering what to do.

Either it is not in the public interest to pursue further

Or a pleas bargain for a lesser crime and lenient punishment

Or a retrial.

All conjecture at this point. We will know more soon. Let’s hope for the best.

Roy Harper cleared of charge on Indecent assault – Jury still out on the other charges.

Roy Harper has been cleared of indecently assaulting a sixteen year old girl.

Unfortunately the more serious charges of of rape and indecent assault of an underage girl are still being considered.

Hopefully they too will be thrown out soon.

Meanwhile the travesty continues. Fingers crossed.
