“I think there will be enough continuity of evidence for even the CPS to secure a conviction on two charges, assault and vehicle interference. Boy, when that bloke gets sentenced he can expect to get nearly 3 weeks in jail, well probably not, more likely to get a community order with a "thinking skills" programme to that he can carry on screwing cars without being unlucky enough to get caught.”
