Good luck Barnard

[sandwichsaint]

I guess the crown will be most interested in the fact that he has been wearing a plaster cast for the last 6 weeks: was this apparent injury caused 'offensively' or 'defensively'?

 

I think we should be told.....

ONE of Saints’ star strikers has been re-bailed following a mass brawl in a city bar.

 

Lee Barnard yesterday answered bail and, after he was questioned by police officers in connection with an alleged assault at the White House in Above Bar in Southampton, told to return later this month.

British justice is the best that money can buy.

 

Very topical.

I think he said that he is a quiet and very likeable guy and he was surprised that he was involved, a case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time and was in no way any trouble at the club.

 

I met him once in the supermarket and got his autograph for the nipper. He seemed genuinely surprised and blushed a bit when I told him that he's my lad's favourite player.

No he hasn't, you numpty. It gets heavily bandaged for matches and taken off afterwards.

the Police haven't got enough to charge him yet? And really they should have had enough time by now.

 

or, there is so much evidence it is taking too much time to compile?

 

Probabaly the first, which would be positive for Barnard

More like police gathered evidence and sent it to CPS for decision on whether to prosecute, CPS came back with some questions. Police gathered more evidence / interviewed Barnard again. Now waiting for CPS decision imo.

it's irrlevant what Barnards answers to the Police/CPS questions are. If they have enough evidence to prosecute they will, regardless of what Barnard or any other defendant says. I think the only time it matters is if he would deny it was him at the scene then they have to put him in an ID parade, there really isn't any point him pretending it's not him as everyone knows it was. IMO you used to be better off always going no comment as anything you say in police interview they can and will twist and use in evidence in court. However these days the police/prosecution can draw an inference from going no comment more or less saying that if you weren't bursting to tell them how innocent you are when they interview you then you are guilty.
