Ryan Giggs has shared his "disappointment" after a judge confirmed the footballer will face a retrial over assault and coercive controls charges.The former Manchester United winger had been on trial for four weeks, but last week, following more than 20 hours of deliberations, the jury failed to reach any verdicts. Giggs, 48, had denied controlling or coercive behaviour over a three-year period towards his ex-girlfriend, Kate Greville, 38.
He also denied headbutting her, and assaulting Ms Greville’s sister, Emma, by elbowing her in the jaw, during a row at his home in Worsley, Greater Manchester, on November 1 2020. In a statement responding to a judge’s decision he is to face a retrial, Giggs said: “After more than three weeks in court I am obviously disappointed that a retrial has been ordered.
“My not guilty plea remains in relation to all charges. I am confident that justice will eventually be done and my name will be cleared of all the allegations.
“I would like to thank my legal team, my mum, my children, my girlfriend Zara, as well as my closest friends, for their support throughout this period. “I understand the level of interest and the scrutiny around this case, but I would like to ask that my and my family’s privacy is respected in the weeks and months ahead.” Judge Hilary Manley ordered on Wednesday he stand trial for a second time at Manchester Crown Court after a jury failed to reach verdicts last week following a four-week trial.
