tlangdon12 Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 I think it likely that if this officer is convicted of unlawful and malicious wounding then he will be sacked. If he is found innocent, SYP will have to make a decision based on the evidence they have as to whether he can be sacked. Even if he is not sacked, this offence will remain on the officer's record and he will be aware that he cannot overstep the mark by an iota. He will not get sentenced for GBH as he hasn't been charged with GBH. The CPS will have charged him with the offence that they felt they had the best chance of convicting him on.

It was reported by the mainstream media at the time and there's plenty of reports of the PC being charged recently in both national and local media.

Surely the court case will decide if he's guilty or not guilty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or did the officer think the lad was guilty of a serious crime without a judicial verdict? Take a look at the video coverage you may wish to revise your comment.
