Peter King busted

[CarolinaCoolin]

Technically he was convicted. He just gets a re-do.

No the way the law reads is that he isn't convicted until found guilty by a jury trial. You can pull up his record and you won't find a conviction on there. The judges ruling means absolute poo the second hardy appeals for his jury trial. It is not FACT as panther love is trying to claim.

Yes his conviction is now wiped by trial de novo. But he was at some point convicted.

Was convicted now currently not. People saying he was convicted by a judge are intentionally misleading. He still has to have his trial. Until then don't make judgments

How does King taste?

 

I wouldn't know.  I don't generally read his drivel.

It isn't misleading at all.  Maybe people don't understand how NC law works.  That much is apparent.  However, it seems people here want to believe it never happened.  Just because the guilty verdict is removed until the jury trial, the fact is, he was found guilty.

It is. Because people say that like being guilty by a bench trial and being found guilty by a jury are the same thing. They aren't. Him being guilty at a bench trial his basically him being indicted by a grand jury. It just means there is enough evidence for his real trial.

Everyone should be operating on the fact as it currently stands. Greg hardy is innocent. If you are saying anything it means you have an agenda

the media does not care about facts....and sadly neither do most people

The use of the word "convicted" in this case is a much better use of the negative connotation of the term semantics than the argument of whether PK was referring to non-existent court transcripts or to various twitter feeds as "testimony".
