Stokes Arrested

[sledger]

The law and jury just acquitted him.

So what?

Celebrity's get away with everything as usual

So what?

Obviously rule of law never applied then - just the law of fight or flight.

Haha yes, clearly.

There were nervous moments when the verdict came in and the prosecutor signalled for a review.

Snicko would be fun with the cctv footage.

Taken from the judge's summing up:
“You don’t want to play for England. You just want to piss it up the wall with your mates and have a good time.”


OK, it wasn't really the judge. Anyone care to suggest who did say that to Stokes circa 2013?

There are not many things I know a lot about, but property offences are one thing I know fairly well. And the way certain people on here are suddenly legal experts is incredibly irritating.

Edit: hang on this isn't the thread about property offences.

He has two previous permas for that - I hope he doesn't make it a hat trick

Unless you have him on ignore.

Yes, in which case it is the worst part of the thread, so more fool you.

He should get a 6 month ban minimum - ECB disciplinary is not a court of law, doesn't need beyond reasonable doubt.

Already had one as missed the ashes.

It over, get him back playing.

I suppose I'm in the minority in finding him a chavy yob who shouldn't represent England.

Actually, he was not banned. He was deemed unselectable while the investigation was going on. Don't instantly bring him back in. Who ya gonna drop for that thug anyway?

6-12 months ban should help him turn over a new leaf. Smith/Warner had harsh treatment in order to teach him and others a lesson so why shouldn't Stokes? Who, actually did something far worse!
