Of course, it's fine for us to sit around an on-line forum, and "gossip" about cases as we're doing, but the legal system, I feel, does end up needing lawyers and judges and jurors and all that, and to attack one part of it when it's assigned to the side you sometimes assume to be guilty, isn't very reasonable.

Now, for my contribution to the "gossip," yes, from the link provided, it would appear the case will easily be won by the prosecution. The cyclists who was attacked earlier and waited this long to file a complaint, should have acted immediately after his experience.
