There was.
Was there? I take the Hughes case as being before the social media explosion but the McCormick case wasn't that long ago, and I certainly can't remember petitions, sponsors threatening to pull out, famous celebrities threatening to withdraw their patronage......seems this has been blown up much more than perhaps it should have been. As per the explanation above Evans has always protested his innocence and continues to do so.....it's not like he can change and show remorse now as that would make him look like he's been lying all this time. He's served his sentence and IMO he deserves the chance to resume his career somewhere.
