Regarding the young man, ‘who cannot be legally named’ who was so abused by ‘the former police officer’. I find it disgusting that the legal system allowed the same judge to retry this case. The system should have assigned another judge given the erroneous finding given the video footage.
Just my two cents worth, but the magistrates are looking out for the police. Enjoy your pension ‘former police officers’. Lowercase deliberate used in disgust [sic].
