that unless there is something in his contract that allows for immediate dismissal for cause, the club has to work out the details of stopping his wages with his agent and the legal eagles.

I realize that he is going to appeal, but it was a conviction regardless of the outcome of any appeal and he shouldn't be getting paid at the moment. At the very least they should suspend his wages until the appeal decision is rendered. If for some reason the judge decides to dismiss (frankly don't see that happening!), then they could give him the back wages, I suppose - though that creates its own set of perception problems.

How does society deal with something like that? The taint of rape is like that of child abuse. It never goes away - even if another judge and another jury decided the first court was wrong (again - I don't see that happening, but it raises an interesting question).

I would like to see the club move past this - we are, as usual, determined to throw our fate into the hands of others (SIGH). The heart-attack kids, that's the Blades.
