Crown Court : The Mugging of Arthur Simmons Part 6/6

The smirks at the end gave them away.

Not really, it could be a "I told you so" moment

[@BRUTUALTRUTH]

Miss Brown was from the Tomorrow People and Colin from Desmonds! :) The not guilty verdict was the the only reasonable conclusion. Excellent upload - thank you :)

Would have liked to have seen her jaunt in and out of the dock lol...was she wearing her belt?

[@AlexAlexon3897]

The Not Guilty verdicts were given with some force! Nice to know that racial prejudice wasn't accepted blindly even 51 years ago. The cop was a bad, racist perjurer. The victim and the old lady (why is she so familiar? Crossroads?) were prompted by the racist officer. Dennis Burgess, playing the guest QC, was good in an episode of The Professionals a few years later. Thanks for the upload. UPDATE: Gabrielle Daye - not Crossroads, Bless Me Father! That was a late '70s sitcom starring Arthur Lowe as a Catholic priest. It was a gentler Father Ted 20 years before the fact. She was the no-nonsense housekeeper. Worth seeing.

Were the defendants charged with walking on the cracks in the pavement, or loitering with intent to use a pedestrian crossing?

..savage.

No, it was "Wearing a loud shirt in a built up area during the hours of darkness."

This was a tough one for me to judge. In the end I think I would have come down on the side of 'guilty' simply because they were picked out in the identity parade and the defence brought no reasonable evidence that it was not conducted as the police described.

[@kaysemuse6749]

Gari Sullivan It isn’t for the defendant to prove his innocence, however, it is for the prosecution to proof his guilt. In this case there is too much uncertainty. Not guilty is a correct verdict

Does anyone else make bets with themselves as to the outcome?

[@whatshisname3304]

What would happen if upon leaving the court they both shouted loudly 'we did do it.'.?

[@kronsteen9093]

Given the times when this episode was made when racism and racial prejudice were quite commonplace (reflected in the language of this actual episode), it's a tribute to the jury tat both defendants were exonerated.

[@martinmitchell3396]

They're still commonplace.

[@whatshisname3304]

The constable was a little bigot.

TERRIBLE QUALITY

@@whatshisname3304 No, but there's a difference between reasonable criticism that might be useful in improving things in the future (e.g. "I had trouble hearing because the volume was too low") and straight-up condemnation. One has a potentially beneficial result whereas the other gives little useful feedback and is unnecessarily rude to someone who has taken the time to upload a series of videos hard to find elsewhere for little or no reward.
