Justice it does work sometimes!!

My son was involved in a fight some 18months ago,the guy who he had a fight with didnt want to press charges,the police wanted to pursue it!my god what i went through and the other witnesses,what a waste of money and peoples time!to say he was admonished by 9 votes to 1,not guilty!well the jurors for seeing sense and when my son was physically sick in the dock,my god!how the prosecution twisted my answers and made me out to be uneducated and brainless,sadly probably will loose his job over this!!!!

Hey Puddi

Admonished in Scottish Law does not mean Not Guilty.
Not being pedantic -but here is a link so you know exactly what it means :

Its stressful being in court so are you sure they said 'Admonished' ?

As you will see that means 'Guilty' -but not basically worthy of a sentence.

[Drisgirl]

What I meant by that was he couldnt be Not Guilty and Admonished -see what I mean.Just so you dont go saying the wrong thing to people !!

If he was found Not Guilty then surely he wont lose his job over it.

Maybe you picked it up wrong in the court -easy done in such a stressed situation -hope everything goes well for you and your son.

hi dris and mr ben,was at someones house drink involved,this guy started a fight with my son and in the commotion my son grabbed his ear and the boy moved backed and ripped it,the lad involved admitted to his mates he was only looking for criminal injury money,the boy also tryed to fight with anyone and everyone as the evidence showed,about his job was only on a probationery period and dint tell the truth why he was absent,i told them he was sick,he couldnt tell them he was up at court,so took the easy option and told them he was sick,his boss rang today and said that he had broken company policy,so i expect the worse tomorrow!
