Hmmm. The article indicates a broken window, and further ‘medical and forensic evidence’. If the broken window was the point of access, it might indicate that a lot of the cuts sustained by the alleged intruder could be traced to the broken glass. That fact would change the entire scenario. It then becomes ‘much ado about nothing’.
Oh no they understand, people were just getting wro fully charged for doing so before.
I’d be really interested to see an actual example of someone who was wrongfully charged in a situation that was clearly self-defence, as I’ve never yet seen one. And by that I do mean a) the charges stuck, and b) the situation was still clearly self-defence once all the facts were known.
I kept asking for that when this case originally hit the media. Nobody could provide an example. I can also think of people I know that also inflicted life threatening injuries on an intruder and were never charged. Police act on the information available to them at the time, then collect evidence that either confirms or contradict their suspicions. People seem to think our legal system is just for show and that only guilty people are charged with a crime.
