Oscar up before the court Friday...

[oscar]

I don't know if any-one remembers but some months ago I posted that my lovely friends had been attacked and racially abused by two 16 yr olds. Three members of their staff were physically assaulted and the windows of the shop kicked in.
One has already been dealt with by the courts and on friday, we will be in the public Gallery to see the other sentenced at last.

Well done to the two young WPC's who persued this to the bitter end and got them to court.

Yay! Let's hope the punishment fits the crime and they don't get off too lightly.

What punishment are you to be expecting exactly?(A question for anyone in the UK that is familiar with this case)

The other one did get off quite lightly but this one Friday is the nasty one. Also, It will come out in court Friday that some weeks after the attack, they came back for some more one night. That night I was there and had to get police out to them again. that is not going to look good to the court.

If they are under 17 years old here Kev, they are classed as 'Children' in the eyes of the law and that reflects their sentencing. I am expecting no more than 9 months probation and a referal to 'the Restorative Justice' programme.

I'd suspect their next sentencing upon having repeated their crime would be much harsher, in the logarithmic sense?

They are pleading that they were so drunk, they can't remember doing or saying anything. Thank God for CCTV Camera's eh?
