readie14 Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 Lump the size of a golf ball' on her head Outlining the case for the prosecution, Helena Duong said Mrs Barton called 999 and said she has been hit in her house by her husband, and asked for police to attend urgently. They arrived at 11.38pm and spoke to her outside. "She gives her first account of what she says has happened," said Ms Duong. "She said she has gotten into a drunken fight and her husband has pushed her down. 'He;s got my head and pushed me down and kicked me in the head'," Ms Duong says Mrs Barton told police at the time. This is what will be viewed in the police bodycam footage. "The video shows injuries, a lump the size of a golf ball on her forehead. She puts her hand up to it and there's blood - she's also got a bloody nose," Ms Duong added.

They're probably all down the pub or at home now which for them is a result: a day's pay for a half hour's work.

I might even be persuaded they then proceed to Deep Fake video footage from body cams showing invented physical injury. Simply, they've nothing better to do, have they? But what no silk could ever persuade me to accept (me and the wife being partial to a glass or two,) is that at a dinner party for 6 between 24 & 30 bottles of wine were consumed.

PHILINFRANCE Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 OK, call me cynical, I prefer pragmatic, but I am now more convinced than ever that the JB case is going to die a death. We will all have our views as to the general circumstances, but, unless I am mistaken, none of us on this thread were present on that fateful night so, by extension, none of us really know what happened. The only ‘facts’, such as have been described in the media, are that, whilst entertaining friends back in June 2021, Mr and Mrs B got involved in a drunken argument (they drank four or five bottles of wine each!?); Mrs B (presumably under the influence of alcohol) telephoned the Police on the emergency number claiming she had been assaulted by Mr B; the Police arrived and found Mrs B with a lump on her head the size of a golf ball. Apparently, Mr B was upstairs, asleep and intoxicated, when the Police arrived. When the proceedings started in Court this morning, the first thing the Prosecutor’s barrister did was to request a short adjournment as she had discovered this morning that Mrs B had written to the CPS one month ago, and followed up her letter with two E-Mails, none of which had been acknowledged. I can imagine Ms Duong, prosecuting, was both embarrassed and absolutely furious, but I am curious; not only as to why the CPS didn’t respond to Mrs B, but also why they didn’t disclose the letter to the prosecuting barrister until this morning. The cynic in me wonders whether the last thing the CPS wanted in their file was a statement from Mrs B saying that she wasn’t actually assaulted at all (by Mr B) - this is a Victimless (or evidence-based) Prosecution, after all - and, by withholding the letter until today, they hoped to just present their case to the sole District Judge – not the usual Bench – basing their evidence on Mrs B’s 999 telephone call, made whilst in drink, and the Police video. Are the CPS not obliged to present all evidence, not just that which suits them? Might the fact they declined Mrs B’s request to provide a written statement be considered an Abuse of Process? I have not seen it mentioned that Mr and Mrs Clint Hill were in Court this morning, but I can imagine the Prosecution were not best pleased to see the alleged victim of this Victimless Prosecution arrive, arm in arm with the man accused of assaulting her. Anyway, the case has now been adjourned for a second time, and I wonder, yet again, whether it is really in the public interest to proceed with this prosecution. I am not in any way condoning the alleged crime, far from it, but Mr and Mrs B are (ostensibly) living a happy family life together with their children, and I wonder whether the Court really want to proceed and perhaps find him guilty, whereby he probably loses his job; very possibly is ostracised from football, but, most importantly, suffers disruption to his family life with the resultant distress to his wife and children.

A district Judge would sit by themselves not as a panel. They sre normally reserved for the more serious magistrates Summary only trials. The Crown is under a duty to disclose to the defence any material that assists the defence or undermines the prosecution as part of the disclosure act (CPIA). However given that the defence seemed to be unaware until today of the actions of Mrs B. I would guess that she had unilaterally written to "someone", or emailed "someone". Certainly the process should have been done through Barton's defence team as some sort of Defence Case Statement. In these type of prosecutions. The "victim" is invariably hostile to the thought of prosecuting their partner for a whole multitude of reasons. Ultimately:- - She phones the Police, and says she has been assaulted. - Police arrive she has some injuries consistent with her 999 call, and further disclosures are made on video. - These are captured on BWV, thus the need for a statement or some sort of evidence of the injury from a hostile witness is no technically neceasary. The Crown only opened the case with a summary, before the objections started. No doubt large amounts of footage would have been played. Probably documenting the accounts of the other people present (standby on Mr & Mrs Hill there). This was always going to be a much trickier case to defend than the Barnsley manager case.

Yes, he probably will get away with it, whether that actually turns out to be the best thing for his wife and children remains to be seen.

Lanterne Rouge Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 11 minutes ago, Peter O Hanraha-hanrahan said: It would appear not. According to their website they were allocated over 1400 tickets and as you can see from the post above they obviously didn’t sell them all. What I find odd is that apparently we have the shittest fans in the League.…but we take over 1400 to Forest when we haven’t won away for 6 months and our season is pretty much over yet they can’t sell their allocation for a huge promotion clash? Interesting. So, those 1,388 sad s*gs have helped Northampton out financially by going with no benefit to their own club`s finances. I`m sure Wally would rather the vast fanbase of loyal and true could be arsed to stroll up to the swamp occasionally. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CiderJar Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 (edited) Apparently Northampton refused to cook Wael his lucky pre-match lasagne, so he got deliveroo to deliver... and the tweet is a hilarious take on this. One of the replies complained about it and because they @'d deliveroo, deliveroo apologised, officially as if it was a genuine customer complaint. And here's another... Don't you just love template responses? They always seem so genuine and sincere. Edited March 21, 2022 by CiderJar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
