don't forget that mandaric and storrie were on trial last year as well for the same thing and the player mentioned was eyal berkovic . that trial lasted 2 months?! and ended in not guilty verdicts.imagine being on the jury and trying to stay awake for all that evidence!
that trial was all hushed up and 'arry jury not informed mandaric previously tried.
that bloke kelvin mckenzie ex sun editor described 'arry's performance in the box as mesmerising and some people wondered if he'd trained at RADA. you have to say his defence was brilliant by him and his barrister, he turned the whole case around by showing himself as the victim, the botched police raid which was later deemed illegal, his terrified wife etc and turning on that copper in court. but even so i thought the case was weak, the tax involved was ?30-?40k, approx a wks wages? why would he bother for that small sum.
