Stokes Arrested

[R!TTER]

is it too late to plead insanity

This isn't Law & Order: Criminal Intent nor the US

 

[King Pietersen]

Stokes needs to start answering questions with "wibble" or "wobble" only.

 

[Moonsorrow999]

Yeah, dear me. That isn’t going well! Jäger bombs too? I remember having those at times in my partying years. Don’t remember too much else!

 

[S.Kennedy]

Stokes probably picked up his lawyer from Durham.

 

[Moonsorrow999]

Just saw some of that. He seems really on the ropes. What do you all think will happen to his future?

 

[S.Kennedy]

I hereby sentence you Benjamin Stokes to a three years' sentence playing the Hong Kong Blitz.

 

[Spikey]

Just saw some of that. He seems really on the ropes. What do you all think will happen to his future?

hmm well based on his past if he's on the ropes i can only assume he's gonna beat the living **** out of everyone around him well past the point of reason

 

[Gnske]

Talking to god

Oh no...

 

[Burgey]

Should be gaoled for drinking vodka and lemonde tbh

 

[S.Kennedy]

Stokes firing back a little better here in his assertion that it was self-defence.

 

[S.Kennedy]

Stokes's defence opens up with a statement by Jake Ball, who only stayed at the nightclub for 10 minutes, testifying to Stokes's sobriety!

Stokes's lawyer is ****.

 

[Moonsorrow999]

Why is Alex Hales not there sticking up for his mate? That just looks really, really bad if he doesn't make an appearance.

 

[fredfertang]

Stokes's lawyer is ****.

That's possible, but it may also be he has a decent lawyer who has a **** client who wont take advice

I always assumed the two gay lads were going to be called by Stokes, but without them there's no way the video can be explained away and without any witnesses he really should have pleaded guilty - might well go down for this

 

[BoyBrumby]

To this layman it looks (and the boxing analogy seems apt) as if Stokes is some way behind on points at this stage of the contest.

What's the going rate for affray nowadays?

 

[fredfertang]

I reckon it's worth six months, probably suspended though

 

[S.Kennedy]

I think they might chuck him on an anger management course.

I reckon it's worth six months, probably suspended though

Apologies for the dumb question, but if someone is given a six month suspended sentence and behaves like a goody two shoes for the next six months, do they in effect suffer no punishment for their misdemeanour?

Also, once the period of the suspended sentence has passed, if they then return to being a yob and breach the conditions of the original suspended sentence, is any penalty incurred (other than that which would be applied to an individual who has committed the same offence but had no prior criminal record)?

No, there'd be requirements, almost certainly unpaid work in his case

 

[S.Kennedy]

And you still have a criminal record which will be a pain getting into foreign countries.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

He was raised in the North East. Three pints and six vodkas is like a can of Shandy Bass up here.

He was raised among the Christchurch rugby league fraternity. They can drink
