You've commented multiple times in the 40-page thread. Any need for a new one?
Can anybody explain how a choke hold from behind isn't assault? How come Brewster was let off without trial?
Video clearly shows this and it can't be questioned that it happened.
It’s a fair point you make
Note the judges wording. Simply not proved to the right level : not “he didn’t stamp on him”Not guilty, how? With overwhelming evidence against him.
Get the dog worrier up in court for wasting police time and Sun for deformation saying he stamped on the perps head
still common assault as I understand it just a different versionDifferent to ABH I think, but I’m no legal expert. Might ABH need to go to Crown Court?
Wasn't Forestieri's racist trial ended with similar? Judge said he couldn't decide either way so just fucked it off.Note the judges wording. Simply not proved to the right level : not “he didn’t stamp on him”
The police are aware of both the social media content and that he was on the pitch. Let’s see what they do now.I wasn't confident, I won't lie. Glad that non-confidence was wrong. As above, what a waste of time and money. I hope McBurnie does the cunt for sending death threats and calling him whatever those 5 stars represented as I'd class that as malicious communications personally speaking. And I hope dog nonce gets punished for invading the pitch.
Right level is as ambiguous as your statement to be honest.Note the judges wording. Simply not proved to the right level : not “he didn’t stamp on him”
Same defence barrister I believe.Wasn't Forestieri's racist trial ended with similar? Judge said he couldn't decide either way so just fucked it off.
You reckon the police have let the pitch invasion and social media contact slide until this was done?The police are aware of both the social media content and that he was on the pitch. Let’s see what they do now.
McB should just walk away and stay clear.
I don’t know, but they have plenty of evidence to pass it to the CPS. Now it is publicly know there is more pressure to do something, as there is on the EFL or FA about the pitch invasion.You reckon the police have let the pitch invasion and social media contact slide until this was done?
I'd laugh if dog nonce gets back from walking his dog only to get a knock from the coppers "you're under arrest for malicious communications"
Have that *****
The case not being proven to the required standard under the 3 requirements for obtaining a guilty verdict for assault by beating is significant. Questions may be subsequently raised as to the standard of evidence the prosecution provided. Relying on the grainy video and saying this was clear evidence of a stamp when all could see it was inconclusive is one illustration of the poor standard. If this together with a few I saw him stamp on him statements was the totality of their evidence you may be entitled to ask why was this drain on the public purse allowed to proceed? Bearing in mind they were already in possession of threatening texts sent by the alleged victim to Mcburnie which should have been a flag as to the credibility of the allegations. Add in the fact Brinkley went to the press within two days making reference to not wanting compensation but justice and you began to see a picture developing of a potential civil case being pursued for damages against Mcb in the event of a guilty verdict. Not guilty now dismisses that prospect.Addison
Could McBurnie or the dog nonce go through the civil courts for any damages against the other party?
Fuck the cunts pal there all little slimey cunts pal the pigs watch oli score hat trick at Wigan next week nowAll the pigs sat with their ears next to the radio in anticipation of a guilty verdict will now be accusing the judge of being bent
Theoretically yes, but the judge made no finding he was lying and , reading between the lines, it was probably "he says one thing, OMB says another, I don't know who's telling the truth so I can't be certain there was an assault, its NG". That being the case, its highly unlikely you could prove beyond reasonable doubt, the complainant was lying, which you'd need for a perjury conviction. Hence he won't be prosecuted.
McBurnie should embrace the ballerina nickname.
I wasn’t far off then.Just convincing anyone it was definitely a stamp may be difficult when his mobility was impaired by the boot. I expect any reasonable judge to say the evidence is not conclusive enough and criticise the CPS for pursuing it.
Might have knocked some sense into the little bastardAnyone else hope that in reality McBurnie actually did get a couple of good stomps in?
"What this witness describes and what is reality as far as evidence is concerned seems to diverge."^^^^^. Yep, closing comments seem to agree with you (re no interest in potential perjury) :-
District Judge Pyle said: "For someone so wedded to his phone and social media one has to ask the obvious question why didn't he photograph these bruises?"
He added: "What this witness describes and what is reality as far as evidence is concerned seems to diverge."
