Biomech Posted December 2, 2013 Report Share Posted December 2, 2013 I've just read this article about a man who "accidentally" shot a burglar. http://www.herefordtimes.com/news/10849978.Whitbourne_shooting_trial___Malcolm_White_says_that_he_thought_he_was__going_to_be_robbed_/?ref=var_0 I have no problem with that, the men where trying to raid his house, by all means take action. But I am a little confused by the article. It says he's up on a charge on "unlawful wounding", but reading the article, the man in question was running a cannabis farm woth £60,000 a year...... surely he should be being convicted for supply and distribution of illegal substances?

Biomech Posted December 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2013 There's a new article in the HT now stating that he's been ... can't think of the word now.. judged... for 7 SENTENCED!! It was sentenced... for 7 years for drug farming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dippyhippy Posted December 6, 2013 Report Share Posted December 6, 2013 Yes - what I was going to post was that I thought there was a separate trial for these offences....then worried I might be making a comment I shouldn't, so deleted it. I have been called "irresponsible" once, its not going to happen twice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
