Evans's rape appeal case begins

British footballer Ched Evans's appeal against his conviction for raping a 19-year-old woman began at London's Court of Appeal on Tuesday.
The former Wales striker was released from prison in October 2014 after serving half of a five-year sentence for raping the woman in a hotel room in Rhyl, north Wales, in May 2011.
His case was referred to the Court of Appeal by the Criminal Cases Review Commission (CCRC), which investigates possible miscarriages of justice in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
The CCRC announced last October that it had unearthed new evidence that could have supported Evans's defence.
Court of Appeal judges will consider how safe his conviction is, but details of the legal argument cannot be reported under British law. The case is expected to be heard over two days.
Following his release, Evans, 27, saw an attempt to resurrect his career with English third-tier club Oldham Athletic collapse amid a public outcry.
Evans came through the youth ranks at Manchester City and spent time on loan at Norwich City before joining Sheffield United in 2009. He has made 13 appearances for Wales, scoring once.
He has not played professional football since his release.
