Re: Dalain Atkinson
As I said in my original reply to sludge, my next door neighbours partner died, but he was charged with GBH and convicted.Originally posted by Hilts View PostYes but Dillan died. Im pretty certain GBH with intent wasnt an option.
Theyve cleared him of murder.
They cant then go to GBH with intent as if hes intended to do serious harm surely he gets convicted of murder.
Theyve agreed on Manslaughter.
The reason is if the defence puts up a case that the person had some underlying condition that means they may have died at any time from that, then it is difficult to prove that the beating was the direct case of death.
A person can say, "I intended to beat the victim to teach him/her a lesson but I never intended to kill anyone" and if the jury accepts that he is off free.
However if the charge is GBH he cannot make that defence so the likelihood of a conviction is greater/
