In other news - Alex Salmond has been cleared of sexual assault 16:30 - Mar 23 with 1118 viewsGeoffSentence

I am not a great fan of the 'no smoke without fire' method of justice, but it seems that I am as susceptible as anyone to its subtle charms as I was surprised that he was cleared, and my surprise was based simply on the number of people who came forward.

Whether innocent or guilty, he's certainly been lucky with the timing.

Mega publicity avoided - minds on other things etc.

This has been well publicised though. Followed him around for at least a year and now he's been cleared when few will hear about it.

I'd say it's bad timing for him. Plenty won't hear he's been cleared and will assume he's guilty.

Nothing like the coverage it would have got in normal circumstances though. There was also Brexit beforehand. I'm sure everyone will hear the outcome too.

Didn't follow the case fully but all of the accusations just seemed to be their word against his, with no witnesses or other proof.

Although being Scotland he could have got a "Not Proven" outcome, which is still an acquittal but not a very good one.

Why would the level of coverage matter if he's been cleared?

All I've said was that he's been fortunate to avoid the massive coverage the whole thing would have received in other times - including kangaroo courts that start on social media, even when some's found innocent.

No need for an argument really.

Think one of the allegations was found not proven.

Twelve charges were 'not guilty', one was 'not proven'

More to the point the accusers have been lucky with the timing.

AS exercising restraint and will wait until less unsettled times to detail all of the evidence.
