Don't hold your breath on that one either.Rustyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15965792077810915140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1289318816421419218.post-46075592973738784802010-04-03T15:56:31.406+01:002010-04-03T15:56:31.406+01:00It is apparent that he is a thug as described, but...It is apparent that he is a thug as described, but he was only charged with common assault, that does not warrant a jury. The prosecution could not produce a witness, and as such the defence could probably have asked for a dismissal for want of prosecution.<br /><br />The problem lies with the Crown Prosecution Service in indicting him with a much lesser charge than the crime warranted.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
