Thanks for the update... just like an attorney to toot their own horn!
But seriously ZA... once again, sanity wins!
Well, just thought it might be appropriate to post a wee update....Some excerts of what I said at the time:
What actually happens is that loads of people are charged by the police - something they have absolutely no choice or discretion but to do as their job is not to pass judgment, but to charge if there is reasonable evidence to suggest that a criminal act may have taken place. In all of those types of cases that reasonable evidence exists. In something like 90% of those cases, the public prosecutor (the fiscal or Lord Advocate in Scotland, Advocate General in England etc.) decides not to pursue these cases on grounds of it not being the public interest.It boils down to the fact that the big man has been charged by the police for common assault as he DID unquestionably carry out all of the necessary constituent parts of that offence. He hasn't actually been prosecuted for it yet, nor has he been found guilty. Wait and see what happens.
Update: As I predicted he is not going to be prosecuted: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-edinburgh-east-fife-16954147.

But seriously ZA... once again, sanity wins!"I don't want to be part of a forum where everyone has differing opinions." Boom...
