He was found guilty last Tuesday. Papers seem to ~~success~~ suggest the intervening week is to allow the legal teams to prepare for a request to extend, but that didn't happen.

I can't imagine you're suggesting that we should presume people are guilty before a jury concludes?

So there was one week where he was a known rapist, and it was illegal to call him that? One week seems like a reasonably short duration for the paperwork to be sorted.
