What happened to it?
Could any member of the kangaroo lynching court also list exactly which jobs he is allowed to do that would be ok with them, and list the crimes that they don't feel are egregious enough to have to change vocation, since they are writing the laws now.

There are many occupations to which you wouldn't be permitted to return having committed a serious crime.

On the other hand, I don't recall such an outcry when Leslie Grantham (a convicted murderer) was in 'EastEnfers'.

It's not a point of law. Accountants, lawyers and doctors wouldn't be able to return to their jobs after committing a criminal offence.

Is football one of them?
Also, I seem to hear much made of the fact that its all down to the fact he doesn't show remorse.
Does an individual have to?
Once convicted does that also mean they don't have right to appeal?
What if a person is innocent, do they have to believe they are guilty as part of the sentence?

Then what of miscarriages of justice, do these no longer exist?

The baying hand wringers suggest that the conviction should be trusted as judgement on him, but decide that after the sentencing of that adjudication the court hasn't completed the job, their opinions being more important seemingly.

I think plenty of drink-driving offenders, for example, are not prevented from carrying on in the professions for which they qualified. Their professional bodies would neither have the power nor the wish to bar them from their means of earning a living.

There is also no comparison between the case of Evans and Lee Hughes. Lee Hughes pleaded guilty before the court and showed remorse for his actions.

The issue here is the lack of remorse for the rape Evans Committed. I also don't believe he has any right to appeal the conviction. My understanding is that the time limit has elapsed to appeal. He is only asking for a review into a possible appeal which has next to no chance of succeeding as only a handful out of thousands of reviews each year are allowed to go to an appeal.

Surely if a person is convicted of a serious crime but refuses to accept guilt and show remorse they must be considered to have a greater likelihood of reoffending.

If he'd got a shred of decency in him he'd have slipped away quietly and started a new life where he isn't known.

The fact that he is prepared to play league football again shows exactly how seriously he takes his crime.

I've no doubt that he's the sort who would do it again if he thought he could get away with it.

There have been at least 4 clubs willing to sign him, which shows intent but where held to ransom by sponsors and some fans that whipped up a frenzy.

If the same occurred over employing gays at a club or people in wheelchairs how would that one end up?

The point is that those holding clubs to ransom put their faith in the judiciary to come to their conclusion and punishment (since they themselves have no idea whether he did it or not) so how can they then add bits to the verdict when neither the law nor the association have?
