Gerrard is innocent
 

Its official Stevy Gerrard is innocent, mind you I could have told everybody that last December. Look at the facts; He's a Liverpool hero, the trials in Liverpool, 12 liverpudlians are on the Jury, the accuser is a Man United Supporter, not guilty your honour, Simples:D:rolleyes::p

Re: Gerrard is innocent
 

You could have knocked me over with a feather, Liverpool footballer found "Not Guilty" at Liverpool Crown Court, was Ken Dodd on the defence team?
Still it's good to know you can run across to somebody sat on a bar stool and punch them in the face three times just to be on the safe side

Re: Gerrard is innocent
 

And I'm Dolly Parton. :p

What a farce. :(

Re: Gerrard is innocent
 

how the hell can they find him innocent when they have it all on film?

Re: Gerrard is innocent
 

Steven Gerrard can do no wrong on Merseyside.

The victim had the audacity to refuse to play the music Mr Gerrard asked for in the bar.

Steven Gerrard said he hit out because he believed he was going to be attacked. :(

Re: Gerrard is innocent
 

what a loada bollox, he's famous so he gets away with it....utter crap aint it

Re: Gerrard is innocent
 

Yes it is. :(

The 4 or 5 others who were with him, including a couple of Accrington Stanley players, pleaded guilty to affray..........but not Steven Gerrard, he probably knew if he went on trial he would get off so why admit it?

They wouldn't hold the Soham trial in Cambridgeshire as it was considered to be impossible to find a jury who could be impartial. It had to be done at the Old Bailey with the jury drawn from that area.

So, why was the Gerrard case heard at Liverpool Crown Court? :confused:

Not that I am comparing Steven Gerrard to Ian Huntley of course, just wondering why they would hear the case in Liverpool with a jury from Liverpool in a case against one of their idols. :confused:

Re: Gerrard is innocent
 

Please take the time to read before you hang him, judge thought he was innocent after hearing ALL the evidence.

Re: Gerrard is innocent
 

You're upset now wait until Stevie G sues him and wins millions.:D

Re: Gerrard is innocent
 

i'll give 5-1 he don't.:D

Re: Gerrard is innocent
 

and I don't think he asked for his legal fees either, be interesting to see if the victim takes out a Civil Action or has he been promised some compensation?

Re: Gerrard is innocent
 

Oh yes they did..it was on the TV news..and it showed one man get punched 3 times without responding.
If that is now classed as "self defence" then I'm glad I don't go clubbing no more.

Re: Gerrard is innocent
 

And you don't go to the football anymore because of Eric Cantona.

Re: Gerrard is innocent
 

Cantona was convicted and also punished by the club...Gerrard's actions reflect that of Pool supporters..hooligans!;)

Re: Gerrard is innocent
 

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 :D

Re: Gerrard is innocent
 

Says in the press this morning that his defence lawyer has cost him £250,000, or a couple of weeks wages:D

Re: Gerrard is innocent
 

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

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.

Re: Gerrard is innocent
 

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

Re: Gerrard is innocent
 

They should use the same court if the News of the World find themselves up on charges :D

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.

Re: Gerrard is innocent
 

Ya but in Gerrard's case he could have had a jury of 12 Everton Supporters wadey:rolleyes::D
