He had a machete he used for work and the jury bought that, This, and the subsequent comments from Khan raises the question in my mind as to who knew the law, Rodwan or her? Very informative post btw, thanks. Edited January 26, 2020 by Retsdon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe until the needs and rights of the majority outweigh the needs of the individual it will not improve? On 24/01/2020 at 12:01, Newbie to this said: I'd really like it explained to me, when attacking someone with a machete, goes from assault with intent, to attempted murder! 60 times the Police officer was hit with the machete, quite a few of those were on the head. If that's not attempted murder, then nothing is! Our 'justice' system is a absolute disgrace. Same goes for stabbing someone. In my book it's attempted murder. Far too much common sense there Newbie.

Probably a very liberal person? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the correct answer. Stopping commenting now as the system can't be altered by common sense. Not fit for purpose! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if that had been the case, the PC would have most likely been suspended and put through hell. The outcry would have been over whelming from the left and an infinite amount of resources would be in place in an attempt to charging him with murder. Our legal system is a sick joke.
