I'll let you do the Googling on this one. Do all cases where a person is charged lead to a conviction? Or to put it another way, is it possible that an innocent person can be incorrectly charged?
Should we ignore the idea of innocent until proven guilty in all cases?
It would like an attempt have a pop at another forum member, don't you think?
You are not fooling me DS you mean Contador dont you 
OT clearly there is some debate as to whether he did or did not use reasonable force or have the right to do so.
Lets see what jury says

Alan Pollock is a revolting fat bully and I'm pleased to hear that he faces charges for assault.
I believe he makes his living as a banker (although I expect you'll hear his occupation described as 'risk analyst' or something similar).
The bloke is an all round scumbag and I wouldnt mind betting its not the first time hes done something like that. Probably hits his mrs too, and kicks the cat. Fat slob.

I totally agree with this!!
The fat bully was showing off! He obviously thinks he's powerfull being a banker, I bet he does throw his wieght around at home, he's just lucky the lad didn't swing for him! Would have shocked him, with the lad being a lot smaller.
If this was to be allowed then all fat bully's would do it wouldn't they!?
And at the end of the day all the lad did was fare dodge!! Not a major crime now really is it!!?

Loving your work TJ 
Fancy a little wager Tandem darling?
Tenner to charity of your choice from me if he's convicted - if you'll match it? Tenner to charity of my choice from you if he's not.
fair?
Scottish criminal law is different from what I’m used to so I can’t comment on the intricacies of what goes on abroad (so to speak), but as obnoxious as I find MAIN’S behavior, I can’t help feeling that POLLOCK acted beyond his civic responsibilities in the circumstances.
Something to consider is that a visual recording of a section of an event does not usually amount to the entirety of what actually happened - so there might be other factors involved that we’re not privy to.
The relevant authorities clearly believe POLLOCK has a case to answer, but if it goes in-front of a jury I can well imagine them lacking the appetite to return a guilty verdict (appreciating the strange vagaries of a not proven possibility in Scottish law). Look at the views here for example - STW is obviously a microcosm of the public that could be called upon to compose a jury - not a great deal of unanimity is there! I wouldn’t bet on him being convicted that’s for sure.
It will be an interesting case to follow.
I want to know what JHW thinks about this, is he not a lawyer? And 'business core' at that
I'm guessing if he's said nothing in 300 odd posts he ain't flippin interested.
There are specific rules regarding closing doors and departures from stations.Yes I am aware of this - I just don't see where it fits with the discussion!
Glad you agree with the rest of what i typed.Don't confuse lack of comment and defacto agreement.

Where's the beef?
Was that Alan Pollock farting?
this thread has decended into name-calling and hair pulling
I've tried to read this thread, but its so full of s+%t its unbelievable !!. All that needs to be said is that if the big man needs help with legal costs I'll be sending a cheque.
The rest of you....... well crawl back under your stones.
like an assault charge is something to worry about
An assault charge is something to worry about, as a conviction for assault can cause numerous problems for a person in terms of their career especially. Such a thing can prevent you from working with kids or vulnerable adults, and go against you for a whole plethora of other jobs. Not something you want on your CV...

You're not wrong!
You're just on the sympathy vote because you were a little chav **** in your youth too. In fact you're still a chav **** in your old age.
Oh dear. I think somebody's not a Happy Bunny.
'Chav' LOL!
Now, where's me fake Burberry....
Hippo is fantastic 
my day keeps getting better. good news that
Good. Common sense prevails.
GIRFU all those that thought he should be charged
TFFT
The Crown Office said it was not in the public interest to prosecute the pair.
which is what i predicted / suggested would be a reasonable outcome. Not that no assault took place.
Result!
However, the Crown Office now has no plans to proceed in either case.Last week the train conductor who featured in a video returned to work.
It is understood Alan Mitchell, 63, had been on sick leave.
His employer First ScotRail would only say that Mr Mitchell had been on leave since the incident.
So both get off and the conductor demonstartes hes not fit to do his job. Winners all round
But Isn't it a crying shame that in this country a 63 yr old employee has to (try and) put up with gobshoites?
put up with gobshoites?
maybe if a few more of them were sent your way essel, eh?
