Have people's opinion changed about Vincent now that it's come out he doesn't have immunity?

The question is whether he will face criminal charges - a possibility given he fixed games in the UK.


Not sure this is correct. According to the Guardian:

"The ECB has laid 14 charges against Vincent arising from Sussex’s defeats by Lancashire in a T20 quarter final and by Kent in a 40-over match, both at Hove and both televised. Arif has been charged with six offences in relation to the Kent game. But that could only lead to cricketing sanctions – almost certainly a life ban, if found guilty – because match-fixing is not a criminal offence in this country, unlike in New Zealand. The ECB’s chairman Giles Clarke has reaffirmed this week that he would like that situation to change."
