Steven Gerrard Arrested for Assault

[joyno]

rumour as it,and there are no shortage of them at the minute,are the poor victim had already wound up the group by playing the z cars theme,pure conjecture.....

I see Gerrard has been voted midfielder of 2008 on SSN got 61% of the vote. I think Ronaldo next with 16%.

[dww]

How so? I'm genuinely curious how you've made such a huge leap of imagination

I'm not sure you can be so definite but it is something that worries me. Not everyone can put off field troubles out of their head when playing and training (as Bowyer did when he was on trial for example) and any ill effects on Gerrard's mentality will mean our chances have reduced.

i saw that as well carra walked the best defender yesterday maybe the mancs cant afford sky or they were too thick to press the right buttons,quite surprising results though knowing how many scum fans are out there,then again they probably don't get a signal in devon.

Woodgate was found guilty of affray and walked away with a fine if i remember right and he chased the guy down the street after scrapping.

Just to clear up a couple of things.

Assault
There are different levels of assault
Section 39 (normally known as common assault) this is were no or little injury is caused - a push, a slap or even a weak punch would fall into this catagorie.

Section 47 (normally known as Actual Bodily Harm or ABH for short) this is were some form of none serious injury is caused such as heavy bruising, small cuts, grazes.

Anyone know what the sentancing guidelines are for S47?

you can get community service for that or up to 12 months in prison. It depends on the judge and what exactly happened.

and both his and bowyer's careers went down the pan afterwards. oh how i smiled then when the ****ed up legal system failed to do its job then and fate took over.

as for gerrard at worst it'll be a fine and community service oh and a few new verses to his song also.

Section 47 (normally known as Actual Bodily Harm or ABH for short) this is were some form of none serious injury is caused such as heavy bruising, small cuts, grazes.

Section 20 ( normally known as Grevious Bodily harm, or GBH, without intent ). This is when the injury is more serious - broken bones, more serious cuts (not sure exactly but I think it is when 9 or more stitches are required) - the main thing with this offence is that it is used when it is thought that there was no intent to cause this level of injury (no weapons used)

Section 18 (normally known as Greivious Bodily Harm, or GBH, with intent. This when the injury is at the same level as a secton 20 assault but were it is believed that there was intent to cause this level of injury ie when weapons are used. Anything from glassing someone, stabbing, beaten with a bat, hammer etc.

These are all assaults but just at different levels. Gerrard being charged with ABH makes me think the Police either can't proove he caused the broken tooth or that he hasn't caused the broken tooth, if they did he would have been charged with GBH.

Regarding the court case, this willl go to court, it is a criminal proceeding and as such can not be settled out of court. It is not possible to pay someone off. It may not go to trial - but this would be dependant on Gerrard pleading guilty at first appearance. In this instance it would go straight to sentencing.

The time to worry is if the sentencing part of the case went to Crown. Magistrates can only sentence up to 6 months imprisonment. If the sentencing part of the case went to Crown then hes in real trouble.

Good work with those its all very confusing.

I don't think that you understand that this is a tragedy, not only for Gerrard himself but also for the club.

This could swing the decision from the banks from a yes to a no. A no could very well mean administration.

IF he is found guilty then the club will drop a lot in value.

[Tatterdemalion]

He's been charged so it means he's done something. Even if he's not guilty of anything this will affect to his performances and that how to Liverpool changes to win the title. Stupid behiaviour from Gerrard to be even in the same place where is fight going on. Has he not learnt anything? Press will have a field day.

Bad things happening to people have strange effects. Sometimes the effects can be quite positive. Maybe he'll get off lightly, realise what a lucky sod he is pack in 20 goals between now and the end of the season?

sorry mate thats bull****
i have been arrested by southport police and charge with causing affray and gbh - and believe me i hadnt done a thing - case got thrown out
my ex bro in law was a policeman in liverpool and had to callt o southport one day a little after what happened to me and a few friends/family

the southport lot asked where he lived
he told them and they said they "done" some lot from there at the weekend - just cos they were a bit gobby -
he asked what "they" did

"**** all" was the reply

he then said thats me brother in law

Heh heh.. I love Southport - everyone's like that, not just the police. It's the place where old folk and drug addicts go to die..
