Assuming on a GBH case — you don't know until you know everything.

By Scarlett VerekerPublished 6 years ago 1 min read

1, 2, 3, defendants with no marks

And

1, 2 witnesses with "serious harm"

An assault case, involving alcohol

You do the math

But wait

You cannot assume what you think

There is always more

The 2 were drunk

The 3 were drinking

They meet, they drink

Time passes, they separate

Time passes, they meet

This time; 1 of the 2 is running home

Why? "My jacket"- it's May

Where? Towards the 3

As I write, I am aware I have decoupled an attachment to 2 of the 3 — the final one is in custody so I don't know him.

1 is sweet but we don't share the same native tongue.

2 is funny-looking, I look at his side profile all day, an old face, he told me he's 23 however, with a young nose — it's sweet, he's not cute. His nose curves up, if you know me, it's like mine.

He has sweet green eyes

He fancies me

He was the peacemaker — there is evidence of this

He does share my naked tongue, maybe we could share more

When he's nervous, he is nervous right now, any innocent man would be, he pulls on his chin.

As I was saying

1 of 2 runs at the 3

Punches the tallest; custody boy

A fight breaks out

5 drunk men, sadly I'd expect no less

Why so aggressive

Makes me so sad

It's not my fault, your fault, or their fault, that the 2 were poor punchers and came out damaged

1, 2, 3 defendants with no marks

1, 2 witnesses with "serious marks"

An assault case

An assault case of 2 witnesses on 3 defendants

That is the correct assumption

Thank you.
