  1. Can we stop calling them “zombie knifes” want people to take knife crime seriously while using very unserious terminology.. Grow up, it’s a knife, a blade… Fucking donkey ass country I swear

  4. So the zombie knife ban was bollocks then.. I’m surprised.

  6. >She said: ‘The directions directed the jury that they could convict Cartel, and Leo, if they were sure that Cartel and Leo may not have acted defensively. This was not the case.

    >’The jury could only properly convict Cartel and Leo if they were sure that Cartel, or Leo, was not acting in self-defence.’

    Other than the ‘or’ I fail to see the material difference in these two statements. They were still both found to not be acting defensively, or in self-defense, and we’re convicted. How exactly does the phrasing “acting defensively” vs “acting in self-defense” as well as “Cartel and Leo” vs “Cartel, or Leo” create a material difference in the directions such that the conviction were squashed…

  7. > She said: ‘The directions directed the jury that they could convict Cartel, and Leo, if they were sure that Cartel and Leo may not have acted defensively. This was not the case.

    > The jury could only properly convict Cartel and Leo if they were sure that Cartel, or Leo, was not acting in self-defence.’

    TLDR – judge said “may not have” rather than that they were certain. So judge wrongly said “if you’re mostly sure” rather than “completely sure”

    I can see why this was overturned in that case. How unfortunate

  8. Breaking news, drill rapper thug who lived by the sword dies by it.
