Father's comments are an absolute disgrace IMO.

I can see Clifton speaking too a brief very soon over this for sure.
Papers reporting complete rubbish should be brought to account

Big head boxer, went back to finish the job off, after hitting the kid b4, 2nd time he will have knocked the kid out b4 he hit the path. i would have gave him 10 years. he killed the kid + his family's hearts.

didn't go down like that

Seven years is about right IMHO.

By the sounds of it there wasn't any need to crack him twice, especially having decked him the first time and teaching him a lesson.

What's annoying is that other instances of manslaughter end up with the perpetrator getting little more than a slap on the wrist, when in all honesty they ought to be up on a murder charge.

Given that the lad was involved in two incidents he's perhaps fortunate that he wasn't up on one himself.

What REALLY pisses me off is when people who cause death by dangerous driving or death due to driving whilst drunk/drugged get next to nothing. Drink drive killers should be executed. There's absolutely no excuse for driving whilst pissed. None.

the other guy started it and after the first punch thought it had ended and apparently tye walked off and the other guy followed him still giving him shit so he hit him again.

Beeston Brawler · 07-21-2012, 08:03 AM

Erm... in that case I'd still have charged him.

You could say the lad was unwise to basically ask for more, but Mitchell should have exercised a bit of restraint.

It depends on the lad's character, if I'd decked someone easily and they came back I'd just laugh, especially if I was team handed.

It's obviously unfortunate that the lad died after being hit only a couple of times, but as a professional fighter he ought to be aware that he punches much harder than your typical drunk swinging whilst trying to keep ahold of his kebab at the same time.

Seven years might be a bit harsh on reflection, but it was definitely right to send him down for a decent stretch. IMHO of course.

yeah i'm not saying he should be set free and don't really know the situation and it was the guy hitting his head on the concrete that caused the trauma but it's not like he was being cocky or anything showing off it's just a tragedy for both familys and these things happen.

Cases like this are tough to analyse correctly.

Scraps happen on nights out when the beer has been flowing, that's just a fact. If he really meant to cause this lad a great deal of physical harm then he would have carried on beating him up after he'd floored him the first time. If the 'victim' appraoched him a second time knowing exactly what would happen, then more fool him. He'd already been punched and floored once, he must have known what would happen. Did he deserve what happened? Absolutely not, no, but i highly, highly doubt that Tye meant to kill or even seriously harm the man in question.

It's just a punch-up on a night out gone wrong. I bet 90% of ESB have had a drunken scrap on a night out and if one of you hit someone who then whacked their head on the curb and died, would you deserve 7 years in prison? Not imo, no. You'd certainly feel like you've been harshly treated, that's for sure. Conversely, a young man has died and his family would probably want the person they believe responsible for their loss to pay for his actions. It's a tough one.
