Wow. He is still going. You have stamina if (absolutely) nothing else Lew Lew.

No Jammy, It's having to deal with the general public for 30yrs and how they get their own back when things don't go their way. It's alright now as I don't have to anymore. I think it's called being streetwise. In case your wondering it was working in retail and dealing with various shoplifters who know how to work the system.

Gregory, I never mentioned provocation. I'll defer to your legal knowledge, but I thought that if you were subject to an assault you were entitled to defend yourself, and that afforded you some protection for any injuries caused. It's conceivable that someone of JTH's size and strength could cause that kind of damage while fighting off an attacker. That was certainly part of OLH's defence.
Rodney, unless you know the circumstances it's still a bit much to tar anyone involved in a fight in a nightclub as scummy. Several times I've seen people who are determined to pick a fight and there's not much you can do about it short of leaving before it kicks off.
I was once nearly in a fight with a Celtic fan at a tube station because he didn't like the colour of my scarf. Only when he got me backed up against the ticket machine and realised I was twice his size did he back down ("...and my, look how big and tall you are"). But I couldn't have avoided the fight if he'd really wanted it. I'd hope you wouldn't tar me with the epithet scumbag if it had.

Well, you are doing your bit to help!

Now just stop, ok?

How ridiculous. Surely Jordan should be tried separately by the magistrates? The PCoJ charge is nothing to do with the alleged assault.

Argus is wrong
GBH with intent carries a prison sentence of between 3 years and life - magistrates can't sentence to more than 6 months.
It's an automatic crown court trial.

I'm not sure why they've been charged with both ABH and GBH with intent - maybe to have something to fall back on

This thread is old, and your attempts to stir up a reaction are dull.

Thanks for the link. There seems to be a case on the 20th with two case numbers and the name redacted, so maybe that is it and the trial is ongoing?

Guessing here but I'd suggest that this either involves children or is sensitive for another reason. I doubt it's the case that we're interested in.
