Question Author
Thanks to you guys taking an interest, I am going to answer all the questions below;
How many witnesses were there?
2 in total, 1 claims he never seen the guy before and couldn't identify him again if he seen him, the other says it was me. The Victim can't remember anything!
You say it is easy to give a description of you as you are on face book?
I am saying that the guy thinks it was me (from hearsay) and got an accurate description from facebook. He also says he knows me form the local disco and says hello to me on a monthly basics, this is a lie, I haven't been to that disco in 8 years! The victim and the witness are best friends as they have photos on facebook drinking and partying. His witness statement doesn't state say if he had been drinking or not, does this matter? Incident happened at 2.50am!
Then you say you denied being in the area in the 1st post but in a reply you say you can not remember where you were as it was 2 years ago. If you can not remember where you were how can you deny that you were there?
I can't remember where I was but the area is somewhere I never go and I would of remembered striking someone if I would have been there.
Where did the offence take place?
A street known for crime in a town.
Is it somewhere that you do sometimes go or did you deny being there as it is a place you have never been to?
I am never around that area.
To defend yourself against this you really do need to think hard and remember where you were on the date in question. Is there anyone , a friend or relative, who you could have been with and may help you remember?
No, its hard for people to remember where they were 6 months ago let alone 2 years! More than likely I was in bed as I rarely go out. When the police called me in for a statement it was July the incident happened in March, they put me on the spot but I couldn't remember where I was.
