I'm recording part 2 and watching after the match. Shocking to see that. Showing no remorse, asking when he can go home. And now we know his mate had nothing to do with it
Just watching it now but last night ended with them writing he spent 3 months in prison for something he didn't do
I’ve watched the second part. The lad in the first episode was cleared.
The CCTV footage will traumatise me for a long time.
Just watched again and it’s the dialogue that says the CPS let him go due to insufficient evidence. The text comes on straight after saying 3months remand for a crime he did not commit.
Find that dialogue a bit misleading, by those standards you could say there’s insufficient evidence Smoggs03 shot JFK because they weren’t born. It’d be more accurate to say crime they did not commit and so remove all doubt for the poor fella.
The CPS choosing to discontinue the case against him due to insufficient evidence does not mean “he had nothing to do with it”.
I was only half watching it but from menory he received a call(s) from Papworth and then travelled to the scene but possibly arrived too late.
He was obviously being investigated for murder, but other offences/charges would be considered also:
Conspiracy to commit murder / joint enterprise
Which would largely depend on the phone call conversation between him and Papworth (did he travel to the area to assist the other lads in killing the victims or with the intention of causing them serious harm etc).
Also, assist an offender, was he involved afterwards, was he involved in disposing of evidence, burning the car, getting rid of clothes / phones / the knife etc etc
Who knows what his involvement was (if any at all) but we do know Papworth rang him and then he travelled to the area, it’s possible Papworth simply rang him and said “pick me up / meet me here” and he had know knowledge of what had happened / what was about to happen.
If so, it’s a lesson he’s learned the hard way, hang about with d1ckheads and you will get dragged into their crap.
