if he was a 12 year old child i'd forgive him for lying but he's a GROWN MAN with a professional job and he is openly LYING to try and get away with what he's done. just own up stokes-y. you flicked the **** butt at the gay man, you mocked him, then you knocked the f*** out of a couple of guys. do some time for it but f*****g own up to it you deplorable w*nker
|

By:
he's telling his story because the burden of proof is on the prosecution to provide suitable evidence that he wasn't acting in self-defence.
and they can't, because the people he attacked were behaving in a threatening manner beforehand. true, that it's a very reasonable interpretation that he wasn't and is just a thug, and his story may not be true, but it's also true that you can't be sure of this version of events to convict him. that's how it works. |

By:
there's video evidence of him flicking a cigarette butt at one of the gay men so he clearly wasn't sticking up for them. and there's also video evidence of him committing GBH. it's all a load of horse sh*t and nonsense. punish the guy for what he did on camera
|
|
By:
why?
when what happened before he was on camera, and what was said, are both unknown which means that a reasonable jury has no grounds to find him guilty. |
|
By:
mr stokes you will go down for 12 months he should do just for lying but he will get a suspendid and a fine
|
|
By:
Wait and see what the judge says this afternoon.
I suspect he will found not guilty. |
|
By:
not guilty 50/1
|
|
By:
why aren't the two gay men giving evidence,? surely they are the key witnesses in this trial
|
|
By:
Was he defending them or taking the p1s5 out of them ?
|
|
By:
When is the verdict?
|
|
By:
The thing about defending the gay men isn't really that important is it?
His defense rests on whether he personally was acting in self-defense after being threatened with a bottle. |
|
By:
taking the we we out of them not guilty 500/1 now
|
|
By:
jury will be sent away this afternoon to consider. verdict depends on how long it takes them to decide.
|
|
By:
my take. 85~90% unprovoked thuggery seeking trouble (guilty), 10~15% self defense. therefore not guilty.
|
|
By:
camera dont lie guilty 1000/1 now
|
|
By:
Even if he does get acquitted, the trial has been very bad for him. Probably very good for his lawyer though
|
|
By:
Agree with mdm on this, the CCTV evidence
Is end of story, as said earlier why not Tell the truth take it on the chin and move on, I genuinely think he thinks his celebrity status will get him off. |
|
By:
the only way he can get off with it is if the judge and jury are members at lords
|
|
By:
If it were your average Joe Public who was the accused then this could only result in a custodial, I hope he doesn't get away with a suspended and a fine.
|
|
By:
he should get a bit of time but he will get suspendid and fine

Judge has expressed concern over 'media coverage' claiming there are two trials , one being conducted in the courtroom and one being conducted by the media .
No reporters arrested as yet regarding Contempt of Court charges , but you never know lol |

By:
if he gets away with it justice is down the pan

Still like to know the History of the Bottle and Bar Men , Would you not walk away rather than arm yourself ?
|

By:
Whether he gets found guilty (which he is), or gets away with it, he won't come out of this smelling of roses, and i don't see how him and Hales are going to get on after either,Stokes Defence are trying to blame Hales for the damage caused to one of the guys he beat up
