Scott Richards, 31, and Rion Peters, 20, the sons of Councillor Judith Best, originally denied causing grievous bodily harm to Neil Potter, 41.Well, well, well…
The incident in Madeira Road on July 29 left Mr Potter with several broken ribs and he required 27 stitches.
But on Tuesday, January 10, at the Inner London Crown Court, the brothers pleaded guilty to the attack and were taken back into custody to await sentencing in four weeks’ time.
Had they discussed this with their mother? It would appear not:
Coun Best, the Liberal Democrat councillor for Streatham Wells ward, was visibly shocked when the change in plea was announced.Heh!
And if this sounds familiar, well, it should:
In August, police arrested her in connection with the incident, but she was released on bail and has never been charged with any offence. She claimed she was seriously injured during the same evening and plans to press charges against her attackers.Her, and OJ Simpson. Both looking for the real villain…
Blimey! A guilty plea! Blimey!
ReplyDeleteCouncillor (Second-) Best has two criminal sons, eleven years apart, and with different surnames. She must be a complete dog. What a great example to us all.
ReplyDeleteIs there any significance in the fact that three members of the same family, mother and two sons, have three surnames between them. Family values anyone?
ReplyDeleteRanter old chap,could you possibly contact Julia with your email address so I can speak to you direct.I think our careers have overlapped at some point.
ReplyDeleteBack to the topic-one of the few satisfying bits of policing left is when someone has sworn black and blue they are innocent and then you get the final bit of evidence to prove them wrong.
ReplyDeleteI mentioned some Bulgarians on an earlier post I was dealing with.I finally caught up with the main aggressor last week.She had GBH'd her husbands new skank who was up the duff.She had assaulted her in the last place you would think there was CCTV but a shop had put a covert camera to protect their back entrance and the manager gladly handed it over.It was quality.
In the interview I "forgot" to mention the CCTV before I started.I let this woman lie and lie about how she didn't start it,tried to be a peacemaker and barely laid a glove on the other woman.
I then said "oh silly me did I mention I had CCTV?" and I pressed play on the DVD player.
Her face was a picture.
She shrugged her shoulders and said "not much I can say is there?"
Guilty plea expected but unfortunately no deportation.
Perp: "I plead guilty"
ReplyDeleteLegal ace: "Are you sure? Don't be in a hurry to decide. We have a raft of mitigation experts waiting to assist you, with trained and highly-paid counsellors to persuade you that you are sorry for being caught and you need help. Look, I know being caught red-handed is a bit tricky but trust us, we have got some real dirtbags off scot-free. Anyway, you wouldn't want the jails to have any more burden, would you? As a good citizen you can see how beneficial it is for you to get off. What? The bodies? The burnt out houses, the armoury of weapons in your garage? All explainable with left-wing media assistance... Don't worry. Now are you still sure you want to plead guilty?"

Ahh .. the wonders of a Socialist "education" .. worth every penny, just for the humour content alone .. ;)
CH,I think anonymous above you is taking the mickey.I read several local papers and whenever a "gangsta" is nicked the comments page are full of like-minded scum supporting them in stupid text speak.If challenged by decent people they resort to threats-also badly written but hilarious.
ReplyDeleteIesha b here again. See there all you oh so clever people go again chatting rubbish about what you don't no about. Seriously get a life and stop chat bout ri and scott. You are all pathetic. Get a job or something, clean your dirty houses out pricks
ReplyDelete"Councillor (Second-) Best has two criminal sons, eleven years apart, and with different surnames. She must be a complete dog."
ReplyDeleteAs John Tee points out, these seem to be modern day 'family values'.. :/
"I then said "oh silly me did I mention I had CCTV?" and I pressed play on the DVD player."
Priceless!
"Justice 4 my rion and scott!!!!! "
Sadly, I think they'll have to get what passes for 'justice' in our society today, but I'm still hoping for a custodial of some sort...
"CH,I think anonymous above you is taking the mickey."
It's hard to tell, really, isn't it?
Incidentally, back in August, the local rag printed this:
ReplyDelete"Coun Best, the Liberal Democrat councillor for Streatham Wells ward, is currently vice-chairman of the young people’s service scrutiny sub-committee and sits on the council’s corporate parenting board."
Heh! You truly couldn't make it up!
