Head Pro
Maybe if someone does a crime with a moped they should call in politicians to chase them down on their desk chairs. Diane Abbott up front.
Just bad reporting!
Anyone admitted to hospital with serious head injury’s would not be discharged so soon.
Then add in the fact that the scumbag subsequently plead (pleaded?) guilty to 5 charges "including theft, dangerous driving and driving without a license" and it's clear that it's not some innocent who deserves our sympathy.
If it does go to court I hope he requests a jury trial. I don't think it would take more than 5 minutes for a jury to clear him. Just get his lawyer to make the point that if he hadn't stopped him then it could've easily been each jury members mum/dad, son/daughter that was the next victim.
Only danger of a jury trial is who you get on them; having been called 4 times for jury service, it can be quite frightening. In the wrong area, or with jurors called from the wrong area there could be a danger of "payback".
Is there a jury selection process in the UK or is that just in the US, where the lawyers can get rid of people they don't want on the jury?
I think they can regect three .I believe there is, or was when I was there, a degree of challenge, not sure of the extent.
I think they can regect three .
When I was there 15 went to court but only 12 were used.
It was in the 80s crime against hairdressing.What were you on trial for?![]()
Having first hand experience in this, trust me it's a good thing.
