Conviction! 16 August, 2007

Despite my fear that the CPS has again managed to salvage a failure from the jaws of victory the youth that racially attacked me in lower Kersal March time was convicted. He was by all accounts a known local hooligan and protagonist who made many peoples life a misery and had a lot of previous. I have to say sadly that in the course of no more than five visits I was verbally abused by little kids, adults set their dogs on me a number of time, and was physically attacked twice all sadly because of my ethnicity, and by all accounts I am not alone.

The judges have asked for presentencing reports and while I derive no pleasure at all from his downfall, I truly and fervently hope both he will learn and it will be a signal to others you can stand up for yourself and win, just don’t let the police fob you off and the CPS mess it up.
