Hall Cleared Of Raping 2 More Girls
http://
Cleared of 15 charges or rape and 4 of indecent assault. But at the beginning of the trial he admitted indecently assaulting one woman when she was aged 13.
Hall's barrister said that under the law at the time the offences were alleged to have happened he would have been charged with unlawful sex with a girl under 16.
Don't understand this...if he admitted a charge, why was he not sentenced for it ?

// Don't understand this...if he admitted a charge, why was he not sentenced for it ?//
that charge is not tried and the other 19 are.
that is what the trial has been about
19 charges and not 19 victims - two or three I think
The one the jury found him guilty is the 'same' victim
Then the judge will sentence him on both charges the one he admitted and the one he was found guilty over
why did they bring the case considering he was already in clink ?
I wrote the the DPP on this subject ( waste of public money on historical crimes ) after the nigel Evans acquittal
and she wrote back rather sniffily saying no it is meant to work like that.
for which we pay and pay and pay......
