Hi Need Advice About My Poor Boyfriend

[Cherlou1]

Basically he was coming back from a yard where he's uncle works after helping out and needed a lighter.. He saw a man in another part of the yard and asked him for one. The man questioned why he was there.. My boyfriend said because he was helping his family in their part of the yard. To put the man at ease he showed him is tattoo with his last name when the man was still not satisfied he showed him his ID. The man believed him Ofcourse and said yes il get you a lighter. He walked over to a house 30 seconds from the yard and got him one. He said in his statement that my boyfriend looked 'dodgy' by this he ment because my boyfriend had his Parker coat hood up and ear phones in (this was mid February and very cold) he always wears hood up and always has ear phones in. The man in his state not says that he specifically watched my boyfriend leave and turn the corner. My boyfriend continued his journey home where he come across a little dog say half mile or so down the road. He rang me saying what shall I do I told him that I didn't want it at mine as I have a cat.. He said shall I phone the police or a vet.. I had had a incident with a pervert who was *** at me that day and had the police coming out to me that evening so I said do not phone the police They take ages (I was scared as was getting dark and just wanted him to get over) I said give it to someone and il tell them where it is or something ( my sound bad but I didn't care about the dog I just wanted it gone so he could come over) he did that and the girl he gave it to decided to go on Facebook trying to sell it (my bf did not tell her to do that he just wanted it out of his hands) the police didn't end up coming out to me they took a statement over the phone and I completely forgot. The owner turned out to be the one who gave him the lighter. The owners saw the dog on Facebook and gave the girl £40 reward. The dog is home. Unfortunately my boyfriend didn't tell the police about what I said about not ringing as he didn't want to bring me into it but I'm disgusted with this and I'm so upset that he hadn't sooner or he may not be where he is now. The only evidence is this paranoid mans thought that he took the dog and my boyfriend admitting to finding the dog. My boyfriend said he saw cups of tea with the people who he asked s lighter from. How do they know the silly dog didn't slip past them while they was carrying their tea? They done a id parade where he wasn't chosen out until the man come out of it and then changed his mind and picked him why they done that when my boyfriend will admit to being there is beyond me. How can they use a id parade when he wasn't picked out during it? There's no forensic obvs because he didn't do it and no witness to say they saw him go in or out obvs because it's not true. He's asking for a lower charge to be accepted of theft by finding as this is what it is. The case management and plea hearing is next month. Do u think there is sufficient evidence to convict him? It's literally the owners word against my boyfriend?
