Haye ''suspected of GBH....will serve a minimum 6 month stretch if guilty''

Nice T shirt!!

 

I don't know much about it but doesn't someone have to be pressing charges? Or is chisora actually going ahead with that?

 

surely the harm you cause has to be grevious to be charged with grevious bodily harm, from the video i seen no grevious bodily harm was caused or intented to be caused . therefore noone is charged with gbh .:good

 

He wouldn't, he's guilty as sin for several offences.

 

The uproar is a bunch of crybaby anti-Haye posters who can't deal with him being a big-mouth and not delivering on it. You'd think he ****ed their girlfriends.

No one is going to press charges, the Germans will simply want to interview him fir their equivalent of an administrative detection and forget all about it.

 

As if on cue, one of the worst anti-Haye cry-babies.

 

He has done that, several times in fact, all on tape as well as criminal damage.

 

I don't really give a toss about whether Haye goes down or not but some of the views on law here are laughable at best. Apparently throwing the first punch, then committing assault with a weapon (possibly deemed a deadly weapon) is "self defence". Cringeworthy.

 

Well, because my best friend is a lawyer, I asked him. He said that really it came down to two things:

Was there a reasonable expectation that Haye could say he felt at risk?

Yes - Chisora had said he would slap him and had already twice-assaulted other people during the weekend. His approach, accompanied by a large entourage, could also have been construed as threatening.

Could Haye have avoided the altercation?

Yes, but he had no idea Chisora was going to get right up into his personal space, or push the head in.

But most important is whether a UK court would deem it in the public interest to prosecute Haye or Chisora. And really, it wouldn't be.
