SG has now apologised for not being the role model he is supposed to be to the youth of Liverpool and has promised next time to nick his car wheels

The prosecution lawyer was one of the best, hense very expensive, who paid his bill? DJing must be a very good business these days or he had help from somebody.

Re: Gerrard is innocent

Take a couple of blood pressure tablets before reading this !

LIVERPOOL FC captain Steven Gerrard received more than £300,000 from public funds in the form of reimbursed legal fees following his acquittal over an affray charge.

A jury at Liverpool Crown Court acquitted Gerrard of unjustly attacking businessman Marcus McGee in the Lounge Inn, Southport, on December 29, 2008.

Gerrard admitted hitting him but denied affray, saying it was in self-defence.

Around £311,000 of Gerrard’s legal costs were repaid under rules allowing people who pay for their own lawyers and are acquitted to have their costs reimbursed, according to a report yesterday.

It would appear the DPP didn't do their homework prior to this case

Re: Gerrard is innocent

Re: Gerrard is innocent

It's the CPS who decide on wether to prosecute but there's nothing they can do about Liverpool juries, look at the Ken Dodd fiasco

Re: Gerrard is innocent

In both cases the Prosecution (or Defence) could have asked for the case to be heard elsewhere on the basis of getting an impartial jury. It would then have been a matter for the trial judge whether he granted the application.
