i really think they would have got away with it, if not for the pictures, they were horrific, he was covered in blood, you could tell his jaw was broken, and like i said he never fully recovered from it, and they got 3 months in prison and its all forgotten.. the jury should know, and be told of past convictions, if you've done nothing wrong then you've nothing to hide..
and the police photographer did turn up a week or so later, but by that time like you said, the wounds have started healing, and he wasn't covered in blood,mud and in a semi-coma state.
i don't blame the police, they do a great job, i don't blame the cps, i do blame the lawyers and barristers thou.. i just hope it doesnt happen to thier family one day
