Just as the entire Manchester United team was fully preparing for the Premier League match against Arsenal, the Greater Manchester Police Department in England issued a solemn statement, announcing that all charges against Manchester United player Mason Greenwood were withdrawn due to insufficient evidence.

This statement was like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, instantly stirring up thousands of waves. Many news media in Greater Manchester immediately took action, and reporters flocked to various places where they could get news like a tide, trying to uncover the story behind this amazing decision.

The Manchester Times took the lead in an in-depth report on this incident.

The report first reviewed the "beginning and end of the Mason Greenwood incident":

During Christmas last year, Mason Greenwood's girlfriend Harriet Robson exposed Mason Greenwood's domestic violence against her on social media, and publicly released photos and video evidence. Later, Harriet Robson claimed in an interview with some local Manchester media that Mason Greenwood still violated her violently after she clearly refused, causing bruises on her body.

On the same day, the Greater Manchester Police Department intervened in the investigation. The Manchester District Court interviewed Harriet Robson and Mason Greenwood to collect evidence. Harriet Robson filed charges against Mason Greenwood. Subsequently, the Manchester police arrested Mason Greenwood on charges of attempted rape, intentional injury and controlled coercive behavior.

But because Mason Greenwood was under 18 years old and had a good attitude of admitting guilt, Mason Greenwood was released on bail the next day; five days later, he was arrested again for privately contacting the victim Mason Greenwood during the bail period. After paying bail again, he was released from prison again.

In early February today, one and a half months after the incident, Harriet Robson deleted the accusation blog post against Mason Greenwood on social media, and the two reconciled.

In mid-February today, Harriet Robson withdrew the accusation report against Mason Greenwood and asked the Manchester police to abandon the investigation.

March this year: Mason Greenwood's parole was extended for the first time, and the authorities said that there was insufficient evidence.

April this year: Mason Greenwood's parole was extended for the second time. The authorities said that there was insufficient evidence and the victim Harriet Robson was unwilling to cooperate with the investigation.

May this year: The first hearing of the Mason Greenwood case was held. On the same day, a close friend of Harriet Robson revealed that Harriet Robson and Mason Greenwood would be born next month; some local media in Manchester also revealed: Mason Greenwood accompanied his girlfriend to Manchester Hospital for a prenatal check-up.

Even today, Mason Greenwood was announced by the Manchester police to be acquitted due to insufficient evidence.

The report also elaborated on the reasons why the police made this decision. It is reported that after a long and rigorous investigation and evidence collection process, the police believe that the existing evidence is insufficient to continue to accuse Mason Greenwood. During the investigation, the police invested a lot of manpower and material resources, carefully examined every detail, and did not miss any clues that might affect the direction of the case. However, despite a comprehensive investigation, the final evidence failed to meet the standard for continued accusation.

At the same time, Mason Greenwood's performance after the incident was also taken into consideration. He actively participated in psychological counseling, tried to reflect on his behavior, and showed sincere remorse. In the process of psychological counseling, Mason Greenwood deeply realized his mistakes. He not only regretted his behavior, but also actively sought ways to change. He worked with a professional psychological counselor to discuss his emotional management problems and learn how to better control his emotions to avoid similar mistakes again.

In addition, in life, Mason Greenwood showed meticulous care and sincere apologies to his girlfriend Harriet Robson. He used practical actions to make up for his mistakes and tried to repair the relationship with his girlfriend Harriet Robson. He accompanied his girlfriend Harriet Robson through difficult times and gave her support and encouragement. At the time of the incident, Harriet Robson was already pregnant and had planned to terminate the pregnancy. However, after Mason Greenwood sincerely repented and made positive changes, his girlfriend Harriet Robson was moved and forgave Mason Greenwood. Through friendly negotiations, the two announced that they would jointly assume the responsibility of being parents and welcome their first child of love. These positive changes also made the police see Mason Greenwood's sincerity and determination, and became one of the important factors in their decision to withdraw the charges after comprehensive evaluation.

In order to respond to the concerns and doubts from all walks of life, the Manchester police decided to accept media interviews to explain the reasons and legal basis for withdrawing the charges.. In the interview, the police spokesperson said with a serious expression and a firm tone: "We made the decision to withdraw the charges against Mason Greenwood after careful consideration. First of all, from a legal point of view, evidence is the basis of the charges. In this case, after an in-depth investigation, we found that the existing evidence is insufficient to support the continued charges against Mason Greenwood. We must follow legal procedures and ensure that every decision is based on sufficient evidence and legal basis." The spokesperson went on to explain: "Secondly, Mason Greenwood's performance after the incident is also an important factor for us to consider. He actively participated in psychological counseling, tried to reflect on his mistakes, and showed sincere apologies and care for his girlfriend Harriet Robson in life, and won the woman's understanding. These positive changes show that he has recognized his mistakes and is working hard to correct them. At the same time, considering that Mason Greenwood and Harriet Robson have decided to share the responsibilities of being parents and raise their first child together. We believe "We are very grateful to the police for their support and for giving him a chance to start over, which will help him grow and develop better and will also help their unborn child have a better environment to grow up in."

When the media asked whether the withdrawal of the charges would send the wrong message and make people think that domestic violence can be easily forgiven, the spokesperson answered firmly: "We absolutely do not think that domestic violence can be easily forgiven. Domestic violence is a serious violation of the law. We have been committed to combating domestic violence and protecting the rights and interests of victims. However, in this case, we must make decisions based on the law and evidence. The withdrawal of the charges does not mean that our attitude towards domestic violence has changed, but because the existing evidence is insufficient to support the continued charges. We hope that through this decision, people will pay more attention to the issue of domestic violence, and at the same time let everyone see that the law is fair and we will make reasonable decisions based on the specific circumstances. "

After the news came out, it caused widespread discussion throughout Greater Manchester and even throughout England, and the reactions from all walks of life were mixed. Some people expressed understanding and support for the decision of the Manchester Police. They believe that no one is perfect. After realizing his mistakes, Mason Greenwood has made positive efforts to correct them. Dropping the charges can give him a chance to start over, allowing him to continue to show his talent on the football field, while also opening a new chapter in his life.

"Mason Greenwood has deeply realized his mistakes after going through this storm. The police's decision is wise and gives him a chance to reform. We should believe that he will cherish this opportunity and become a better person." A social critic said in an interview.

However, some people are skeptical about the police's decision. They are worried that dropping the charges will send the wrong message and make people think that domestic violence can be easily forgiven. They believe that Mason Greenwood's behavior is unforgivable, and even if the charges are dropped, he should pay a heavy price for his actions.

"Beating his girlfriend is a serious violation of the law, and he cannot be let off easily just because he is a star. The police's decision may cause adverse social impacts and make people have a wrong understanding of the seriousness of domestic violence." A feminist expressed her concerns.

At this controversial moment, Mason Greenwood himself was also caught in mixed emotions. He was extremely relieved and grateful that the police dropped the charges, which meant that he could get rid of the legal troubles and refocus on his beloved football career. On the same day, Mason Greenwood published a long article on his personal social media, expressing his gratitude and determination for the future. He wrote: "I am very grateful to the Manchester Police for the decision made after careful consideration. I know that my previous behavior was wrong, and I will always remember this lesson. From now on, I will use my actions to prove my change, strive to be a better person, and make positive contributions to society."

The official social account of Manchester United Club liked the relevant blog post shortly afterwards. Marcus Rashford, a good friend of Mason Greenwood, directly forwarded the blog post, congratulating Mason Greenwood on becoming a father, and revealed that he became the godfather of the child. The big brothers in the Manchester United team: David De Gea, Edinson Cavani, Nemanja Matic, Jesse Lingard, Juan Mata, Scott McTominay, Lu Kershaw, Victor Lindelof, Christian Romero and others left messages to congratulate and encourage Mason Greenwood.

A reporter immediately raised his hand and asked: "Coach Mourinho, what are your expectations for Mason Greenwood's future?"

Mourinho pondered for a moment, then replied: "Mason Greenwood is a very talented young player. He has shown great potential and strength on the court. This incident is undoubtedly a heavy lesson for him. I hope he can deeply reflect on his behavior, learn lessons from it, and return to the team with a more mature attitude. We will give him the necessary support and help to help him regain his form and contribute to the team."

Another reporter then asked: "Coach, do you think the fans will accept Mason Greenwood's return?"
