[cite]Posted By: Rothko[/cite]He'll get bail when they go to Crown Court this afternoon to appeal the magistrates decision
The charge has been upgraded to a more serious level of crime, not sure from what to what but its not looking too rosy for him, how sad, what a pity, never mind. Anyone know what he actually did? Given Bowyer got away with stamping on someones head, it must have been close to murder.
according to the BBC he's been charged with "assault occasioning actual bodily harm". Perhaps one of the legal experts could shed some light on what this means.
FTR his brother and the girl he was arrested with were charged with actual bodily harm and affray (his brother) and "common assault and affray" (the girl), they however were bailed on the 28th December. Presumably his offences are that much more serious.

They were Palace fans though...
I presume the difference in sentencing was down to Barton pleading guilty.
