slartibartfast Posted November 29, 2021 Report Share Posted November 29, 2021 (edited) Nothing to do with the "show trial", but happened to see a bit of Good Morning on ITV. Some woman visiting a house (in Bristol) something about the xmas decs, blah blah, " No red, I notice" the interviewer said. " No " piped up the squirt of a husband, " never have red in this house, nor no robins either" he vouched safe, pointing at his blue Santa is a slag head hat prowedly. His mrs/sister said that he hates the City and also stated that he had a job as a window cleaner. I said to Mrs S "wonder what he uses for water, his tongue ?" The Mrs then informed me that she thought that was OUR window licker ! I proceeded to tell her that he WAS our window licker/cleaner and that if he comes round here wearing that stupid hat he'll get it stuffed up his arse !

He has previous, but it’s very old plus he has a job and presumably dependents. So I’d say there’s little to no chance. If he were to be convicted however, that’d create a real problem for his domestic violence trial, which the courts take very seriously… @Fordy62 In some ways though, the fact that he's already been to prison twice, limits the Judge's non-custodial sentencing options. Anything under 2 years can be suspended anyhow. I'm going for 18 months, suspended for 2 years. However what happens with the domestic trial. Do they activate his suspended sentence, as it was committed whilst on bail for this offence. The DJ can only sentence for 6 months as summary only offence. However he would be mindful of his previous, offence committed on bail. It's rare for the CPS to keep pushing a battery charge on a victimless case. It's had 4 hearings where evidently the defence has tried to have it thrown out. All refused. I've always thought he was more likely to get potted on that case. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be 999 call, body cam accounts. Probably with Mrs Barton realising that Joey was already on bail for the Crown Court assault, and trying to back track what she initially said. In the past, we wouldn't have been able to evidence the injury (head injury i believe) or her account; but with the BWV nowadays, it's a classic victimless prosecution. Where a violent offender (due to his previous) has allegedly assaulted his wife. In front of a District Judge in a Magistrates Court with no jury. He will have sight of all of this. She will obviously give evidence (if he's not already in prison), to say it was an accident, and they were all drunk etc. But unlike a jury, the Judge will have seen this all before. I would find it bizarre, if the Judge was to find that it was indeed an accident; particulary when you consider the violence against women movement at the moment; and the fact that it has already been through a number of hearings. Barton's alleged drunken demeanour will also play a big part ( all on BWV as well). Interesting times ahead.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unan Posted November 30, 2021 Report Share Posted November 30, 2021 “So if I was defending I would be saying he tripped or Barton bumped into him. Given there was clearly an issue between them he then took the opportunity of Barton being in tunnel to accuse Barton of assault. Of the witnesses how many are actually independent and how many work for Barnsley and had a close friendship with the accuser ? If they were on the payroll at Barnsley they are hardly impartial. This really does seem a case of one man and his friends word against Barton. Might be different if there are any actual independent witnesses.” **** me they really are the scum aren’t they.

Galley is our king Posted November 30, 2021 Report Share Posted November 30, 2021 Surely though if found guilty, whether he goes to prison or not, the FA would charge him with something?

Next they’ll be saying his wife was asking for it Didn't he say he never touched him though. The issue he has with "one man and his friends word against Barton" is the fact that he has injuries. Did Stendel just think "I really hate him and want him to get into trouble so I will smash my face into that metal bar". As much as we may want him to be guilty, if this was any City player or staff I would think the same as it looks pretty obvious he has pushed him. Did he want him to smash his face into a metal pole, maybe, maybe not, but he did. Was probably hoping for Stendel to have a go back and then have a row - especially if he thought nobody else was around, ends up getting split up and it's a 50:50 thing and no charges at all and everyone walks their own ways. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have trial by a jury of our peers. What you’re proposing is trial by lawyers. If juries knew the work experience kid had it because silks has declined the case, juries would convict in those cases. Neither you or I want trial by lawyer, we want to be judged, if at all, by our equals.

Fordy62 Posted November 30, 2021 Report Share Posted November 30, 2021 So the next witness is the assistant coach to Stendel. He says he found Stendel bloodied and shocked. Defence put it to him that he deliberately antagonised during goal celebrations to put Barnsley 3-1 up. He denied. Jury have been told they’ll retire to consider verdicts on Thursday. A lot of Wednesday will be taken up by closing speeches and judge’s summing up. That doesn’t leave a lot of time for anyone to speak in Barton’s favour and if that’s the case, there really is only one way this is going.
