Dude, that's the most grounded comment on this thread. Kudos to you. One must always keep in mind that most everything is not as black and white as you would like it to be.

For one thing, he didn't just pick a house in Newcastle to go visit and rape a girl, did he?

If you followed the ins and outs of the information provided in the trial, it's no wonder that it took the jury such a long time and multiple trials, just to be able to find him guilty.
