Heads up, article from the Scottish Sun: Here.
Unfortunately the title says it all. The cretin that shouted overt racist abuse at Marvin Bartley was not convicted on a lack of evidence.
The video that displays him shouting racial slurs at Marvin wasn't enough as they 'couldn't prove' the person who sent the video was the same person who appeared in court.
An horrendous perversion of justice.

I'm glad his name is out in the public. He deserves to struggle to find work.

I suppose the issue may have been corroboration. Yes the video was sent from the guys Snapchat and it sounded like his voice. Had it been a civil case that may have been enough. In a criminal case his defence may well have been 'I lost my phone' or 'my Snapchat was hacked'. Would 2 or 3 people near him have been willing to stand up and say they heard him say what he is alleged to have said and that it was definitely him on the video?PM Awards General Poster of The Year 2015, 2016, 2017.

Good to see that despite his obvious disappointment with the outcome, Marv still took time to thank and praise the Police.

Not good enough. Why did it even get to court if there was a possiblity of raising a lack of evidence? Very disappointing given that people testified it was him.

Disappointing but importantly everyone who knows this guy will know he is an arse.
Decent Hearts supporters will know he is an arse.
Hopefully folk will treat him accordingly.
You don't need to be found guilty in a court of law to have committed the offence and folks will make their own judgement of this guy based on the evidence as it was and his behaviour in the past.
I've decided the guy was guilty and judge him a moron. We all decide.
Marvin has been wronged.Last edited by CMurdoch; 17-12-2019 at 06:45 PM.

In this case the sheriff judged the evidence as not water tight.Last edited by CMurdoch; 17-12-2019 at 06:46 PM.

Once it goes to court, it's up to the sheriff/judge and/or jury to decide the verdict based upon the evidence put forward by the prosecution and the defence during the trial.
