Trainer Evan Williams could face a prison sentence after being convicted of assaulting a dog walker on his land.

Williams, 54, was found guilty at Cardiff Crown Court on Monday of repeatedly striking 72-year-old Martin Dandridge with a hockey stick during an incident at his property in Llancarfan, South Wales, on December 4, 2024.

Dandridge, from Swindon in Wiltshire, sustained several injuries, including a fractured arm, during the attack.

A jury took one hour and 45 minutes to convict Williams – who is due to saddle Libberty Hunter in the Champion Chase at Cheltenham on Wednesday – of causing grievous bodily harm with intent.

The point raised by madtolo on the other fred, in the event of him being found guilty, can he be considered a fit and proper person to hold a licence?

Even if he's found not to be, just put the licence in his wife's name and carry on as you were?

I seem to recall his family all appearing on luck on sunday after the date of this incident. Something about them all riding in a race? Innocent until proven guilty and all that good stuff, but how many people have gotten into trouble with authorities after appearing on that show. It's quite a lot Grin

The court heard Mr Dandridge was staying at a holiday cottage near to Williams’ racehorse training centre.
Mr Dandridge took his cockerpoo Gulliver for a walk in a paddock that was part of the stables, and because it was dark was using a torch.
There had been incidents of fly-grazing on Williams’ property in the past – where animals are left on land without permission – as well as hare coursing and poaching, the court heard.
His family spotted the lights on their land and believed Mr Dandridge was lamping, when people use bright lights to find animals such as rabbits and foxes, often with a dog.
Williams told the court he did not injure Mr Dandridge and maintained he was hurt after being pulled over on the rough terrain by his out-of-control dog and had fallen into a drainage hole.
“If we hadn’t acted in the way we had, Mr Dandridge could have been on his own, hit his head, and we could be looking at serious, serious, serious death,” the father-of-three said.
William Bebb, prosecuting, asked the defendant if he was the hero, and he replied: “I’m no hero.
“I’m only saying that Mr Dandridge’s unfortunate lack of control of his dog caused his injury.”
Mr Bebb suggested Williams’ account of an out-of-control dog was “nonsense”.
“You were filled with rage due to the nature of the background you had with lampers,” he said.
“Whether a broken bone or a wound, you wanted to teach those lampers a lesson. I suggest you struck him repeatedly, swearing and shouting as you did.”

   Trying to say the old boy walking his dog was mistaken for poachers. Previous good character might save him from getting locked up, who knows with the courts these days.

Brilliant defence "If I hadn't injured him, fracturing his arm, he could have had a serious fall and died." Confused

Was the guy who was attacked staying in a property owned by Williams on his land??
By:
CLYDEBANK29
When: 10 Mar 26 11:55
I think suspended and a fine.  The guy was trespassing, it wasn't premeditated, he'd been subject to lampers in the past, I suspect he has no previous and prisons are full.  I very much doubt that he'll offend again.  The idea for prison is because he didn't admit the offence and apologise, so he has no complaints if he does get one.  The idea that a cockerpoo would be out of control and drag him into a ditch and break his arm is bordering on the ridiculous.  It's not much bigger than a rabbit.

The Labour MP had no mitigation, lied through his teeth, and the assault was witnessed, and caught on film. Also held a job in public office, where (theoretically) they are meant to be showing a good example.

  Cardiff Crown Court heard how Mr Dandridge was staying at a holiday cottage near Evan Williams Racing – the racehorse training centre in the Vale Of Glamorgan where Williams works and lives with his family.

They should both get bird, but this case has a little more mitigation than the Labour MP, in my opinion.

Only the other day I caught someone with a dog letting them go to the toilet on my land. Unknown to them, they were on my cctv watching their dog doing it. The level of gall was stratospheric, then trying to claim they couldn't stop the dog. I wasn't considering assaulting them obviously, but I could see how it could get heated as instead of being apologetic and saying it won't happen again, they were acting as if I was in the wrong for pulling them up on it!

Cockerpoos can be big bstrds there is different size poodles to x with with some being about 50-70 pounds my neice has one and it is the size of a large labrador and then my mate has one and is the size of slightly big spaniel.
Like all mongrels (which cockerpoos basically are) there are no hard and fast rules as to what one will turn out like even if you have a good idea of the parents.

It's a bizarre culture shift in society now where people will just lie to your face, as if you are some kind of idiot. As if some people have actually bought into this left wing nonsense concept of your truth (ie fiction) rather than the actual truth. You walk your little dog near to my land with the lead extended, and then claim you are helpless to stop it when you are literally watching it run on to my land and lift its leg. lol.

We very briefly had guinea pigs, not my idea.  Our house backs onto a park.  One two separate occasions the same fighting dog (the sort owned to intimidate you that you'd associate with a tattooed drug dealer) came into the garden, grabbed and killed a guinea pig.  We found one of them in a neighbour's front garden.

"The spread of misinformation has emerged as a global concern. Academic attention has recently shifted to emphasize the role of political elites as drivers of misinformation. Yet, little is known of the relationship between party politics and the spread of misinformation—in part due to a dearth of cross-national empirical data needed for comparative study. This article examines which parties are more likely to spread misinformation, by drawing on a comprehensive database of 32M tweets from parliamentarians in 26 countries, spanning 6 years and several election periods. The dataset is combined with external databases such as Parlgov and V-Dem, linking the spread of misinformation to detailed information about political parties and cabinets, thus enabling a comparative politics approach to misinformation. Using multilevel analysis with random country intercepts, we find that radical-right populism is the strongest determinant for the propensity to spread misinformation. Populism, left-wing populism, and right-wing politics are not linked to the spread of misinformation. These results suggest that political misinformation should be understood as part and parcel of the current wave of radical right populism, and its opposition to liberal democratic institution."

lol stands to reason obviously that a summary of investigating so called misinformation, is indeed, itself, lying Laugh

High percentage of farmers are cruel cold individuals,don’t believe what you,animal cruelty goes on big time…

One barbarian (imo) shot dead a spaniel puppy 60 months old in front of the little girl age 9 and her mum….

Dreadful scenes because it was barking in a field…..

Another couple asked the barbarian if it had seen a young dog….the barbarian replied it’s in my trailer shot to bits….

What is that supposed to mean? If you're talking about feeding a person's 'truth', rather than the actual truth, have you got better examples that pretending a bloke is a woman because he claims that is how he feels?

I concede it might be easier for you if it wasn't mentioned.
