Cambridge fan dies 5 years after being attacked

Reading back on it. They stamped on his head for 90 seconds.

They should all have been charged with attempted murder at the time. Fucking scumbags.
 
Eight men were found guilty of violent disorder, while Rhys Pullen admitted the charge. They were sentenced to the following:
  • Five years for Ryan Carter, 21, of York Road, Southend
  • Four years for Jamie Chambers, 24, of Coleman Street, Southend
  • Three-and-a-half years for Lewis Courtnell, 34, of Stadium Road, Southend
  • Three-and-a-half years for Scott Nicholls, 40, of Little Spenders, Basildon
  • Three-and-a-half years for Matthew Petchey, 26, of Lascelles Gardens, Rochford
  • Sixteen months for Rhys Pullen, 21, of Wickford
  • Five years for Thomas Randall, 22, of Seaforth Avenue, Southend
  • Five years for Alexander Woods, 25, of Fairmead Avenue, Westcliff
  • Three years for James Woods, 25, of Fairmead Avenue, Westcliff
Three men were jailed for conspiracy to commit violent disorder:
  • Three years for Greg Allen, 29, of Western Avenue, Westcliff
  • Three years for Phil McGill, 32, of Hornby Avenue, Westcliff
  • Two-and-half-years for Michael Shawyer, 31, of Belgrave Road, Leigh-on-Sea

I hope they now get charged with murder
It was the rule - under our common law - that death had to occur within a year and one day for it to consist of murder in order to fulfill the charge, so, no further charges are likely for these evil twats. Perhaps the law has changed, but, let's hope that some of them have developed a conscience over the last 5 years and live out their lives with some mental torture haunting them, like the poor bloke's family have already lived with for 5 years.

That law was abolished in 1996, so let’s hope they get their just desserts.
 
Abolition of “year and a day rule”.

The rule known as the “year and a day rule” (that is, the rule that, for the purposes of offences involving death and of suicide, an act or omission is conclusively presumed not to have caused a person’s death if more than a year and a day elapsed before he died) is abolished for all purposes.
