Manchester Airport police assault trial | Man found guilty of assaulting two female police officers

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

‘The jury was unable to reach verdicts on allegations that Amaaz and his brother, Muhammad Ahmed, 26, assaulted PC Zachary Marsden causing actual bodily harm.’

There’s literal video evidence of it. How on earth have they come to this conclusion?

You can bet that the Asian radicals will be gathering outside Rochdale police station with their placards about racist GMP etc. ( just like they did when the whole incident happened and before any of the CCTV evidence was known about).

 

[ancoats]

Does this mean the other **** might have gotten away with it?

A retrial ?
if the CPS did not submit it to court properly or worded the charges properly, that is the only way this charge is a no verdict, Video of the crime is clear, so it's got to be in the write-up of the charge

What on earth took them so long ?
Still, Gods will has been done.

Maybe they liked the cream cakes

The cynic in me says they’re trying to appease people so not to cause a disturbance.

Just think if that video hadn’t had been leaked they would have got away with it and the police accused of brutality.

Fuck knows mate.

It makes no sense. You can batter and attack police officers, have footage of it and still get away with it..

Wasn't it Bucks Fizz who once said " My Camera Never Lies" .
Good old Cheryl and Jay !!

Well, most people can't of course.

Looks like it.
"Co-defendant Amaad denies a single charge, namely that he also assaulted PC Marsden."
So I assume he walks as no verdict reached.

I came on to say exactly this

Absolute farce

Think he received 19 punches to the head im total, it’s captured on CCTV and still no verdict can be reached

Staggering

There is a whiff of a retrial I believe for the assault on the male copper.

A fucking retrial? They had months and months to get this one sorted and then make a fuck of it when there's video evidence

 

[Earlyriser]

The only people to blame here are the jurors .. not the CPS etc. That's the problem with jury trials. One really does not know what prejudices they bring into the jury room

 

[mcfc_ms]

So twatting a copper on the back of the head from behind several times, after twatting two female officers seconds before, and it all captured on CCTV is not enough evidence for the Jury?

Who was on the Jury? The waiting room for specsavers?

That’s an odd thing to assume.

 

[Blumers Bloomers]

Who would be a copper now? Wouldn’t surprise me if they downed their firearms in protest (and I wouldn’t blame them)

 

[Ohrodneyrodney]

That’s an odd thing to assume.

Not really. Even with the video it looks like one of them has got away with it.

That seems unlikely given that they just found him guilty on all other charges.

We aren’t privy to the full evidence and defence that was given in court, so we can only guess as why that particular charge wasn’t proven.

Still, it gives people something to shout about until he’s given an unduly light sentence.

Every cloud.
