Rightly or wrongly, I think they'd take the view that he's already been punished by missing the winter tour(s) plus being stripped of the vice captaincy.
Only guesswork of course.

I think you'll find this is a slightly different era we're entering if it is proved he was being a homophobic **** himself, after earlier reports suggested he was sticking up for them.
If so, you can bet there'll be pressure on the ECB for something reasonably significant.

No he played the NZ series. Got a 60-odd in the first test which I was worried help snatch an undeserved draw before Wagner tempted him with a short one

The evidence of the two gay lads may be the key factor, especially if they confirm that Stokes saved them from a kicking.

Not really. Actions have consequences.

He'll get away with it imo, just have a feeling. Obvious he's utter scum.

According to The Mail they're not even testifying!

You're going to have to explain that one please.
And apparently the judge has instructed the jury to find one of the other two guys not guilty of affray.

If that's true then Stokes has got problems

Where did you see that? I only saw one!

Well Stokes delivered up a pack of lies pertaining to the discussion outside the nightclub, which were exposed as they have cctv footage! The prosecution have been very much obsessed with this nightclub encounter. Stokes's lawyer should undermine its relevancy.
His best chance is the fact Ryan Ali was swinging a bottle around, hitting one of the gay chaps and going for Hales (half wish he succeeded as I think Hales is a first grade wanker!), before Stokes began fighting.

If you have an available witness and you don’t call them, the other side can ask for an inference to be drawn that their evidence would not have assisted you.

It's up to Stokes legal team to call them - if they're not going to it can only be because they've decided they'll do more harm than good

The CPS could have call them. Neither the prosecution nor defence thought to call what are probably the two key witnesses in all this!
