Barton
How much is this trial costing? A QC to prosecute a s47 case is a disproportionate waste of money, ridiculous

Re: Barton
It'll be billed at the going rate.
I'd fancy a crack at the **** myself if I were a QC tbh...

Re: Barton
I tend to agree, and it is rather unusual for Queen's Council to prosecute or defend such hearings, however they may have been appointed owing to experience of similar hearings/investigations either for the Crown or defence, hence their appointment. Money is literally being thrown away by this government in the hundreds of millions yet you are surprised that a QC takes a case against a celebrity?
Re: Barton
Isn't Dick Barton a special agent? He'd rate a QC.

Re: Barton
I think people are getting confused. Barton will not be eligible for Legal Aid (public funds) due to means testing. He would pass the interest of justice test due to the potential of a custodial sentence. But he would without a doubt fail the means test. He can therefore instruct whoever he wants if he can afford it. On most occasions if the Crown are aware that the Defence have instructed a QC then they will usually do the same.
Re: Barton
You mean instead of Queen's Councils it should be Queensbury Rules?

Re: Barton
Because it was a really weak case that wouldn’t have even got to Court if it hadn’t been such a high profile matter. In essence it was “Barton deliberately shoulder barged the victim being reckless as to the consequences”.

“But we aren’t sure it was Barton as the victim didn’t see him and the witnesses weren’t really sure, but Barton was in the vicinity!
Re: Barton
If the victim says he didn't see the incident, and there's no film evidence, then it's a big hole for the prosecution to fill.
Re: Barton
Pardon my ignorance about the case but was he cleared by a jury vote or just one person’s opinion please.

Thanks.

Re: Barton
Did people think Barton was gonna go with the duty solicitor ? He got the best he could afford as would anyone who could afford it when his future in football totally depended on it.
Was a very flimsy case anyway ,you wonder if this would have got anywhere if it didn’t involve JB. Though imagine grassing someone up because you thought they might have pushed you ? the soppy tart

Re: Barton
Think that is the crux. There was no case, but such a splurge of head shaking re Barton and hyped reporting meant that the case had to be SEEN to be answered and dismissed.AlargeClaret wrote: ↑Mon Dec 06, 2021 7:38 pmDid people think Barton was gonna go with the duty solicitor ?

Re: Barton
Are you saying well done for kicking his wife in the head? While holding her down?
The bloke needs locking up.
There's 3 incidents of violence we know of in recent times.
Kicking his wife in the head.
Smacking the Barnsley manager
Fighting on his stag do on the beach.
Re: Barton
Must admit reading his book didn't endear me to him. Seemed full of his own self importance, and "look at how intelligent I am". Obviously not that bright given the scrapes he still gets himself into.

Re: Barton
This case is turning very interesting now. The Crown are not calling his wife as a witness and are just relying on the Body worn footage and 999 call.
The Court have deemed that the 999 call and BWF form part of res gestae and therefore admissible as hearsay.
The Crown will not drop this so in my experience this is what will happen.
The matter has been adjourned.
Some discussions will now take place between the Crown and defence in which the defence will offer a basis of plea to the Crown. This will be on the defence terms.
If this is not accepted by the Crown it will go to trial.
Id still make a s.78 PACE application to the court (if not already done) on the basis he will not get a fair trial (Article 6 HRA) as the complainant cannot be cross examined and the evidence therefore should be excluded.

Re: Barton
Whilst it’s interesting that there is also no mention of any statements from others present and probably a no comment or denial (possibly putting forward self defence or her recollection is impaired by the amount she had drunk) in interview I don’t think he will get much help from HR or ECJpushpinpussy wrote: ↑Sat Mar 19, 2022 7:46 am.

Presumably the evidence or lack of it has been reviewed by the CPS at a sufficiently senior level and they think it should proceed.

yes definitely however any attempt to prosecute a case based just on Res Gestae will be scrutinised by the court for the possibility that the prosecution are avoiding calling the complainant for fear of her being unreliable.

Re: Barton
I loved what he did for us and thought he had turned over a new chapter in his life and everyone deserves another chance, especially when they are well into adulthood, but no, he didn't turn over a new chapter. He's a nasty piece of work. Some people might still be hoodwinked because he can string a coherent sentence or two together, but there's just no getting away from what he really is. BTW, I'm not even talking about the current proceedings.
