What is a Joke is that the Prosecutions were ever Even Considered , How much has that trial Cost ? the 3 of them should have been offered a deal for a lesser plea and a Fine ....
Rapists ,Dunmen and Knifemens running wild about the country and they decide to take 3 pishheads having a Punch up to Court  |

If you were caught on CCTV behaving like that, whether you were found guilty or not, would your company want to continue employing you, if i had staff like that, they'd be out the door.

It is quite clear most of the chit chat experts here have quite a clear understanding of how the law works(or should have worked in this case). The jury and judge probably don't have a clue about their job. Now I understand why everyone's whining about the police, courts and the govt all the time
If you don't understand why Stokes is 'not guilty', stick to whining about the usual media blackouts, corbyn, boris, left, right etc... |

Im not sure what News you lot have Been watching ITV have Just shown an Interview with The two Gay Guys saying Aley went for one of them with a Bottle and That is why Stokes got involved ,Infact they thanked Stokes for Helping them out ,Saying he was a Brave Bloke
 Why were they not called , shirley Questions need to be asked of the Police the two gay men were there from Start to finnish ,why were they not called, It appears it was because of them the Fight kicked off .. With the Gay guys Evidence there is no case to Answer For stokes, The other two Blokes Should have been charged on their own .. |

As for the ECB, can they even punish him? They already made him miss the Ashes(or was that for legal reasons?). Anything ECB throws at Stokes will be thrown back at the ECB, making them look stupid. The guy just got cleared by a court, how can anyone else punish him for this?

The videos I saw showed Stokes ' mocking ' the gay guys and flicking a cigarette at them ! |

Any smokers in the England team? Let’s hope they get into the habit of flicking their butts at Stokes .... just for a laugh.

Stokes wanted a punch up. He got one. In 2014 he had a fight with a dressing room locker, broke his hand and missed the T20 WC.
He threw 15 (fifteen) punches at these fellas in Bristol!!! I think the reason the gays weren't used as witnesses is because it would have made Stokes look a tad silly. They could have defended him 11 months ago and chose not to. Stokes' defence team also chose not to call them. Wonder why... The case was about provocation between Ali, Hale and Stokes. The jury appears to have concluded it was 6 and 2 3s so shake hands and off you go. |

Yes I have the two Gay Guys are still with stokes all the way Through events ,Now if he had been a threat to them I hardly think they would still be with him ?

Those on trial were the best of a bad bunch,...indefensible = not guilty verdict. If against joe public he'd have been toast, and cricket career extinguished, absolutely no doubt at all; he's form the length of his arm.

The guy was mocking a disabled child some time back. Its not hard to believe he was mocking two gay men, especially when its on video? Its also not hard to believe he was punching people, especially when he has a history of punching stuff when angry, especially when its on video.
Again, he might well have been doing the right thing punching those guys but why should he not have been in court? Its in the court that they decide whether stokes was indeed doing what he claims. If he shouldn't have been in court, you'd be the first person whining about the court charging two men injured in a fight with video clearly showing them getting beaten up by a bully. You seem to have a special place in your heart for Ben  |

Absolutely bizarre court case.
The incompetence of the police and CPS is never ending. Hales said he had arrived on the scene after the violence but there was CCTV of him kicking one of the unconscious guys on the floor. And they decide there is no evidence to charge him with anything ! And so Stokes defence was able to argue that maybe Hales broke the eye socket with a kick ! Not that it mattered as Stokes was not charged with any attack or injury to the 2 men but with affray. It turns out they decided to add GBH charges on the day the trial began! But the judge said it was too late. GBH was the only thing Stokes (and Hales) should have been charged with in the first place. And why weren't the gay couple in the witness box ??? The prosecution used the CCTV and the bouncer's evidence to show Stokes was hostile to them. But apparently they were backing Stokes account. So why weren't they called by the defence |

Brown envelope after the trial to put some decent spin on things ?
Tis a strange one. |

the gays wernt called because all though sky,bbe,itv etc have had them all over the news stokes only legal team considered them unreliable witnesses ,live in a run down squat,well known in the area for living an unusual live style, social scene and social media lifestyle etc which under cross examanition may have been ripped up for shoithouse paper,but good old itv,sky and bbbc can be 100% guaranteed not to ask any incriminating or incitful questions, probably end up been gutted like a fish by Lorraine Kelly ,s forensic questioning sometime soon

Move over Sam Curran..thanks for helping out but Ben's back after bringing the game into disrepute. A poor decision IMO.
I was reminded earlier of when Stokes went on instagram and his mocking of a disabled boy was there for all to see. Does not seem a nice person either also IMO opinion. I hope he gets clean bowled first ball knocking out his middle peg which end up stuck in one of his nostrils....and England go on to win. |

By:
Nice one Jed
 Echo others' thoughts. This stinks. 'Affray' - is a public order offence consisting of the fighting of one or more persons in a public place to the terror of ordinary people. If noone was 'terrorised' by the punch up, then it aint 'affray'. And that is why neither Stokes nor the other fella was prosecuted. What a sham. |
