  1. Without Mrs B giving evidence, here’s my informed opinion of what might make up the prosecution case: 1. The 999 call - we can see from the article that Mrs B called the police and said JB has throttled then kicked her. 2. Upon police arrival they’ll have undoubtedly been wearing body worn video. It’ll be interesting to see at what point Mrs B retracted her accusation. Did she continue it to police upon their arrival? Did the two other people present tell the police what had happened and was this captured on body worn video? 3. the injury. Said to be a half golf ball sized lump. 4. previous incidents between the two parties whether prosecuted or not. 5. bad character. Now, we know JB likes the odd assault, but in order to be used as evidence is has to be pretty strikingly similar. You can’t just tell a judge - he’s got convictions for assault - there are proper and quite tough hoops to jump through to allow bad character to be allowed in a trial. 6. CCTV - as someone mentioned above - this took place outside. There might be Cctv. all in all, cps only charge people if they think there’s a realistic prospect of conviction. So there’s definitely evidence here. Injury plus initial complaint is a good start - I wonder what else there might be… I wonder what JB’s behaviour was like when those officers and their body worn video turned up?! it’ll be interesting that’s for sure.
  2. No. Incident happened on 2nd June. He was bailed, so penny to a pound he’ll be bailed by the court.
  3. The vast majority of responses on the gaschat thread at least play out the way we’d hope they would.
  4. Wow this new hundred tournament is really exciting with all these Low scores. Amazing.
  5. So you have to bowl in overs of 5?
  6. Ahhh. It’s just cricket with a band. I get it.
  7. I have several problems. I don’t know what’s different. I don’t know who to support. They’re trying too hard.
  8. Can someone explain this 100 business to me? Are they just trying to out T20, T20?
  9. But Glos are competitive with a fraction of the budget.
  10. It’s not Glos or Somerset, but have you seen the Hampshire run chase? Needed to knock off the total quickly to qualify on net run rate and boy did they do it!!! over 20 overs would have equated to a score of 289.
  11. Well done you ZZ lot. You’ll have my backing to win the tournament - isn’t it nice that cricket can be like that? I suppose it’s much easier when you’re plucky under dogs year on year.
  12. I dont much care for this Lammonby fellow.
  13. Officially the most interesting thing I’ve ever read on OTIB. Thanks.
  14. Apart from this, I agree with you!
  15. Although I’m a Gloucester fan, I have nothing at all against Bristol. But I enjoyed reading back over this thread like I do a losing Gaschat matchday thread. Chin up boys.
  16. Safe to say Bracey will never ever play for England again.
  17. This England batting line up looks the most fragile I’ve seen it in a long time. I think Bracey is heading the same way as Mike Smith - although Smudger had either Hayden or Langer dropped at slip early doors en route to a big ton if I remember correctly? Never got a look in again - grossly unfair IMO.
  18. In fairness to old Joey, on paper Coutts looks a good signing for L2 - wasn’t all that long ago he was regularly playing top of the Championship I don’t think.
  19. I work in homicide, so our jobs mostly really end in life sentences, but everything you need to know is here: https://www.sentencingcouncil.org.uk/offences/magistrates-court/item/assault-occasioning-actual-bodily-harm-racially-religiously-aggravated-abh/ He might be right, it might be in the lesser category, but I have absolutely no idea of the circumstances of the case. Sadly I know just how much you’ve got to do to get a term of imprisonment, so I’d think it’d be unlikely he’ll end up with custodial.
