Angry What A Farce!

Steven Gerrard, Liverpool FC Captain has been cleared of affray after punching a man in a bar.

BBC NEWS | UK | England | Merseyside | Gerrard cleared after bar brawl

How the hell can He be cleared when He admitted the offence and it was shown quite clearly on cctv footage that He threw the first punch?
That trial should not have been held at Liverpool crown court.
It would be interesting to know what teams each of the jurors support.

Re: What A Farce!

Fix ! Very disappointing to see Liverpool's captain and a well respected representative of the England National team putting himself in such a position.......
**** head !! What an example to set the youngsters !!!!!

Re: What A Farce!

I appreciate his defence was of self defence but it amazes me where the visual evidence is so overwhelming.
