^ Yup. Of the 7 men charged, 6 pleaded guilty and Gerrard was acquited. Probable reasons? 'His status as an England international', 'Liverpool FC's considerable clout among the media' and of course, that 'the rich play and the poor pay'.
Yeah.
Guardian said:During the trial, the prosecutor, David Turner QC, paid homage to Gerrard's skill, describing him as a world-class footballer and "a star". He added: "Wherever you go in Liverpool and indeed the world, there are little boys proudly wearing that red Liverpool shirt with No 8 and the name Gerrard on the back of it."
I think this shouldn't be an argument used in favour of Gerrard. In forum may be OK but not in court.
EDIT: Er looks like I'm cracking up. I thought a jury member said that. Now I read its the prosecutor who said that)
I think McGee milked the incident to get $$$.
