Vermin found guilty

[Harryflashman]

The jury were tasked with deciding on whether the policeman had been assaulted by the accused pair.
What happened after the assault with the police officer claiming self-defence and his firearm at risk of being allegedly stolen should have no bearing on their decision on whether the policeman had been assaulted…the evidence suggests he was and that’s why the CPS will go for a retrial.

A bit of a cop-out(pardon the pun) from the jury IMHO.

Depends really .

Whilst I don’t massively disagree if the defence was , and I think it was , that the cop was the aggressor and put them in fear of their lives then his actions after might support that I suppose .

I’m not saying I agree but I can see how it could convince somebody . The fact that a jurors could differentiate between the assaults does indicate they’ve at least put consideration into it .
