The revelation that the Criminal Cases Review Commission is to make his case a priority is likely to see the ex-Sheffield United striker – who was released from prison on Friday after serving half of a five-year sentence for raping a 19-year-old woman – engulfed in fresh controversy.
It would normally take around 18 months for the commission, which has a staff of 90, to examine a claim of miscarriage of justice. Instead, the commission has taken the unusual decision to examine Evans’s case within weeks.
“After an initial review of the case, we decided that we would need to conduct further detailed investigations to establish what merit there may or may not be in the submissions made to us,” the spokesman said.
“Initially, we expected there to be a significant wait before that investigation would begin because Mr Evans’s imminent release meant that his case would be behind those of other CCRC applicants who remain in custody.”
However, he said that, after a request from Evans’s legal team to prioritise the case, “in line with our published policy on prioritisation, and in relation to the facts of the case and the issues raised in Mr Evans’s application to us … we now expect our substantive investigation

Bit of a turnaround as appeal judge's dismissed any appeal? Now different panel say Will review miscarriage of justice Very odd!

Perhaps that is where the appeal lies, as how can she be too intoxicated to be able to consent to one but not the other. I haven't read all the facts, but I agree that if she was too drunk to consent it should have applied to both and vice versa.

did you see the footage of her walking fine into the hotel even going back out to pick a pizza up which they left on the floor on her own walking fine seems a bit fishy the whole thing
