Innocent until proven guilty??

Dog years isn't a real thing. Dogs don't have calendars and the Earth doesn't orbit the sun quicker if you are a dog. 

No, but you can apply a formula to a dog's age in earth years and give a rough idea of how it compares to a human lifespan, matching ages for sexual maturity, skeletal maturity and lifespan.  For a small dog it's something like 15 for the first year, 9 for the next, and 4 per year afterwards.  So an 18 year old dog in 'dog years' is about one and a third.

And there we have it, not guilty.

"Deemster Hopmeier described Miss Gelling as a ‘young woman of impeccable character who had fallen in love with this criminal’."

Poor girl. AGs up to stupid tricks again.

So having so far excelled in her chosen career, the fuckwits at the AG offices ruin it for her. She should sue the feckin lot of them. Unaccountability at its worst

Same with Jenny Holt (Baines case) but she's getting on ok now, but certainly was a traumatic few years for her. 

I'm sure Ms Gelling will be fine in the longterm now this is done.  Her employers released a statement of support it seems too.

At least it’s been done properly. With a lot of these cases where people are named in the press the press is awfully light on reporting that the case failed or had no merit or whatever so on Google searches on the person all you see is the trial publicity and not the fact that the trial failed. At least they’ve made the papers report the failure in a high profile way so that it can always be referred back to.

For once I wouldn't be too critical of the AG's office here. It seems to me that the jury listened to her and believed her when she said that she didn't know it was the proceeds of crime or at least wasn't certain enough to wreck her career over one mistake. 

The alternative is the AG makes the decision not prosecute a professional colleague in private. Would that be ok?
