My mate was charged with assault a couple of months ago. He says it was self defence - he was at his girlfriend's house, then a male relative came in and was surprised to see him there. There was an altercation, and the friend was charged with assault. Tracker put on, and he has not been allowed in the same postcode as the now ex-girlfriend (which is same as his postcode). So he has been staying with relative a few miles away

Had court date last week at Magistrate court, but neither witness (gf and the gf's male relative) turned up despite court summons. Now case date postponed by 6 weeks. His life is on hold in meantime and he's getting very depressed.

How much of the impact on his mental health could help in the case being dropped?

I don't suppose this male relative happened to be her husband?

Police couldn't find the witnesses apparently

So it happened on Merseyside then?

We need Jeremy Kyle back for this one, I reckon.

The relative has a worse criminal record than my mate.

Sorry but that bit made me smile.

A mate, eh? Okaaaay.

nope - grandfather

So assuming your mate’s gf isn’t under 16, why’s her grandfather trying to kick his granddaughter’s BF’s head in?
