Angry Best Friend JAILED today

Hey all,

Just finished a shift and thought i'd have a moan at todays judicial (sp?) system

Last August, my mate got jumped in Edinburgh after a night out and one of the attackers (there was 2) tried to stab him.

Now my pal can handle himself and managed to knock the knife out of this guys hand (attacker 2).

Anyways, long story short (although you'll fill in the rest yourself), The other boy picks up the knife (attacker1), lunges for my pal who dodges it, and stabs his own accomplice(attacker2).

Now for the fucked up bit.

The guy that got stabbed (attacked 2), lost a kidney and some other bad shit. They both said in the struggle it was my mate who did the stabbing, and as there was 3 sets of prints on the blade, he got convicted of 'Serious assault leading to permenatnt injury'.

It was established that it was the other 2 lads that'd brought the knife to the scene, ther're were witness who saw my mate alone, then get attacked. and he gets jailed.

Only reason he only got a year and not 5 was because the knife wasn't his. (he has no previous of any sort) The other two lads have dissappeared. At leaset he was man enough to go to court, knowing because of the police statments that things didn't look great (the other 2 stuck together). His lawyer had told him he'd get a curfew or the tag. NO ONE expectd this.

REALLY upset,angry, wish a slow and painfull death on those little baw bags.

Rant over, cheers for reading.

Thats the way it goes mate.

a friend of mine got locked up for a year in the summer, he is a mai thai fighter, he saw a guy beating some girl round, went to stop it and the guy started trying to stab my mate, long story short, my mate ended up getting him in an arm bar and breaking his arm. 12 months for helping out a girl is distress, however e has been inside before which probably didn't help his case.

does make you think out of say 200 thousand prison inmates how many are actually innocent.

if a copper got jumped and nearly stabbed and avoided it even by adminishing a severe beating they would get a bravery medal and a pic in the paper with the gormless mayor,a honest citizen does the same thing and they get bird and a stretch in the cooler with proper villans and then the possibility of a ruined working carreer.

Mores to the point, if he'd beaten the crap outta these 'stranger wankers' and dumped the knife leaving them both in the gutter, he'd probably have got away with it as well.

Cunts. Sorry for ya mate.

Just a bit confused myself.

If your mate knocked the knife out of the attackers hand, then he would not of got his finger prints on it! So how did his prints get on the knife?

After doing jury service I can understand why things like this happen. The public are fucking stupid and believe anything. I couldn't believe what I saw people get away with in court.

Sorry S1 John, I didn't see your post was the same But it does sound strange that knocking the knife out of the attackers hand ended up with the innocent's party prints over it

If his prints were not on knife he wouldnt and couldnt have got jailed. simple.

The judge has looked at it and it does sound fishy. i know its still harsh but judges dont really care. just the facts really

I have always been told to
No comment in EVERY interview
or as i found state at the start this will be a no comment interview or if i do not answer (because body language when you answer ) will be taken as no comment !
And last never use the duty solicitor i did and was on the polices side IMO for me more work from the station no conviction no more i believe
now i am appealing they cant find the paperwork !

I was in prison at one point and was chatting to someone said what are you in for he stated murder GULP
Young guy not what you would have thought what happened if you don't mind found his DNA on a butt at the scene
so i said could have walked down the street someone asked for a ciggy and you gave it they did the rime but that was there

When i was last arrested they took everything just to find something to do me for
and before that disposed of the stuff they did take so i have to claim against them there is no justice at all

Someone jabs a knife at you, you grab their wrist/arm to deflect then rip the knife out of their hand... way I see it.

The only way he wasn't getting prints on there is if he got stabbed with it IMO.

depends if he literally knocked it out hand or if there was an initial struggle with both people struggling with the knife before it was knocked to ground. if your struggling with someone with a knife, your going to try and grab it by the handle area to control where the blades pointing so if you managed to get enough grip to rip it out his hand and drop it then theres going to be prints on it.

rosccos only given a brief summary of events so "knocking it out of his hand" probably covers something what i said.

although if i knew id left prints on a knife that was used to stab someone, id certainly be wiping it down or disposing of it even if only to protect me.

That is true, but going by what has been presented to us in the first post of this thread it was knocked out of his hand. If I was put in to a position like this, I would try and actually smash the hand against something solid (if a wall or something similar was nearby). Maybe the knife would be dropped. And if I was to have got the knife off of the attacker, I wouldn't of left on the ground near to where the incident was happening. I would throw the bloody thing away, then the occumplice wouldn't be able to get his hands on it so easily.

I know what happens and was is said to happen is two different things, as not being in a position like that you can merely speculate on what you would do but being in that position and doing what you have said you would do is somewhat different If you follow me! lol

Totally agree, was truly stunned at how people (especially the older generations) were to assume things. The amount of people I saw let off becuase 'well he didnt say no comment in the interview, so he cant be guilty as all career criminals do that'.

duty solicitors are as bent as a nine pound note and the crooked police that push you into using them deserve to rot in hell imo.

nothing makes me happier than when a judge, bent copper,magistrate,council officiaL etc gets fucked over for being naughty,its very nice to watch the police get rid of their own when they just can't get the guilty bent copper out of shit so they cut them loose to save themselves.


i honestly have had some coppers lie through there teeth to me and i would have to say if you ever get accused of somthing you need to lie to get out of it because some coppers will without question unfortunately.

judges make examples of people they think need teaching a lesson,if you turn up in court wearing a pair of tracky bottoms and a fila hoody with your hands down your boxers and sneer at everyone your gonna have them think you play the system and don't care so whats the point and if your on the dole fuckin great thats the best way of not paying a fine cos you have no proof of income exept a giro which goes on dope/phone/bevvy slags and fags,how you gonna pay for your crime when theres fuck all left.

Agree with warren, chances are if your trying not to get stabbed your prints will end up on the knife.

Fact is if you come out with a knife and start a fight your obviously intending to cause harm. If you end up getting stabbed with your own knife then it's your own fault.

Feel for the lad, hope he can get out early.
