Joey Barton Trial
« on November 26, 2021, 11:10:20 am by sheffield exile1 »
The Bristol Rovers manager is set to stand trial today at Sheffield Crown Court. Joey Barton, 38, denies assaulting former Barnsley manager Daniel Stendel when he was at Fleetwood Town, following a League One match between the clubs in April 2019. Mr Barton initially went on trial in June of this year following a one-year delay to proceedings due to the pandemic. However, it was halted on the second day due to things getting "lost in translation" over a cross-national video link. n June 2021, the trial got underway but was halted on the second day due to a faulty video link from Germany where Mr Stendel was giving evidence from. Judge Jeremy Richardson QC told the jury at the time: “It is just not right to struggle on.”
He added: “Unfortunately this morning I became increasingly concerned that things are getting lost in translation. He is a critical witness in this case. It’s not fair to him and not fair to anyone in this case.” The judge stood the jury down, and also pointed out at the time that it was the oldest case on Sheffield Crown Court's books after its initial postponement. Mr Barton's trial is now set to start on Friday, November 26 at Sheffield Crown Court. The jury trial is set to start at 10am, and it is anticipated to last one week.

I find it amazing that this is being heard at crown court. This is a low level assault charge. What a waste of court time and money.

It’s still the case that the defendant can elect to be dealt with by a jury or at magistrates court, in most circumstances.
It’s a regular trick by “ alleged offenders”. Crown court costs a fortune with barristers etc. The judge insists that everything is done correctly. The defendant usually hopes that some part of the prosecution case folds in terms of witnesses not appearing or being intimidated by the surroundings. The CPS will then continue offering no evidence or take a plea deal. I’ve seen it SO many times.

Trust me, I’m more than aware how crown court works having given evidence there many many times.
I would have thought with Barton’s bad character that he may have chose to have this dealt with at a lower level.
As you will probably be aware, this would not go to trial unless the cps thought they was a realistic chance of conviction.

Pity he's not being held on remand.
A little forfeit of liberty might make him think twice in future

Hasn’t he been jailed twice before for assault in which case the three strike rule could come in to play?

A nice man obviously. I’m surprised any club wanted him as a manager.

There’s nothing like open minded people

If he’s found not guilty I hope you all come on here and apologise.   Obviously you won’t

I don’t suppose all you who hate him have considered he might be innocent

Barton is many things but he’s not thick. If he’s guilty I hope he’s convicted but just like all of you I have no detail about the case apart from the press tripe which we all know is never biased or weighted in any way to sell papers

Not sure what part of 'if he's guilty' you fail to comprehend.

He isn't guilty currently, but if this changes, my view stands.

Colin if he’s guilty he deserves what he gets. In his past he’s done some terrible things

I just feel that people are too easy to decide people are guilty without knowing the full facts which no one on this forum does

If he’s done it I hope he’s punished

Yep. Fair enough Phil. I acknowledge my view was a bit distasteful. Wait and see what happens.

I notice 'Old Leake'. Is that the one near Sutton Bonington / Kegworth south of Nottingham by any chance? I used to drive through there and west leake / costock to get to work near wymeswold about 10 years back.

Colin that’s no. It’s the one on the A52 half way between Boston and Skegness

I’m not there now we moved about 5 yrs ago.

Nice part of the world

Found not guilty.

Sounds like insufficient evidence to conclusively prove that it was him who knocked over Stendel and caused his injuries.

It’s a good job the courts don’t rely on people from this forum as there are many on here that were pronouncing him guilty long before his trial.

I’m awaiting all the hate Barton haters to be big enough to come on here and apologise for their comments without knowing the full facts

I’m sure that they I’ll be able to put a twist on so that the courts got it wrong or there’s been a mistrial etc

The truth is he’s not guilty

Yes he was found not guilty because not enough evidence.

That’s fair enough. Can’t convict someone unless all reasonable doubt can be established.

Someone pushed or barged Stendel though and Barton was seen going down the tunnel after Stendel did. So although found not guilty he may well be guilty as someone did it and quite frankly who else is stupid enough.

No that does not make him guilty but it is not unreasonable to suspect he is.

That’s a lot of waffle I know but Barton’s record speaks for itself.

I'm sure I read he had head butted him or something funny how it's changed to a shove or been banged into!

That’s what was first reported. Think your right.  It’s changed to shove or barge.

Yes.

Bit of coincidence that Stendel ends up with injuries just at the same time that Barton was in the vicinity.

Which kind of tells us that there was conflicting evidence and not everyone who was there saw the same thing.

That's par for the course Hound. A very, very long time ago now a little boy ran out of a field down by the outskirts of Kirk Sandall. My car hit him. He died in my arms. But the point is that when it came to statements, a guy in the far distance swore blind that the boy had run out from the left hand side of the road. He didn't. He ran from the right hand side.

So 'evidence' of whatever human origin, simply cannot be relied upon.

Agreed Bob.
It is amazing though isn’t it that so many people had hanged Barton before the trial had started.

The verdict doesn’t surprise me I can’t think of a more upstanding pillar of society than Mr B
