|  | John Terry defence team mulls 'bad character' case
« Thread Started on Jun 25, 2012, 4:31pm » | |
The barrister defending Chelsea captain John Terry over a criminal racism charge might make a bad character application against Anton Ferdinand, his alleged victim, a court heard today.
Terry, 31, will stand trial at Westminster Magistrates' Court in London on July 9 accused of a racially-aggravated public order offence - shouting an offensive comment at Ferdinand.
The comment was allegedly made, and seemingly caught on footage, to the Queens Park Rangers defender when the two teams met during a Premier League match in October.
Today, during an administrative hearing ahead of the trial, Terry's barrister, George Carter-Stephenson QC, said he was considering making a bad character application against Ferdinand.
According to the Crown Prosecution Service, bad character "means the commission of an offence or other reprehensible conduct", and is used to cast doubt on a witness's evidence.
Mr Carter-Stephenson said: "There is likely to be an application for bad character against Mr Ferdinand about two incidents."
No details were given about the incidents.
However, the barrister added: "There is pertinent evidence which we believe will assist the court."
The Chelsea star did not attend today's hearing after playing for England last night in their quarter-final defeat to Italy at Euro 2012.
He denies the offence.
The court heard that both the prosecution and defence have commissioned experts to study the CCTV footage of the defender allegedly making the comment.
The experts are due to meet this week to discuss their findings and iron out any issues, two of which, the court heard, were pronunciation and body language.
District Judge Howard Riddle said he wanted a single report taking in both opinions.
In private, the court also discussed security arrangements for the trial, which is expected to last five days.

Mildly comical as Ferdinand has admitted he did not hear the apparent slur and is not the complainant in the case. His only concern was why Terry went to such lengths immediately after the game to get him to agree there was no problem between them. Those actions alone are that of a man who knows he is guilty!!!

So the "bad character" whose word could not be trusted would be Anton Ferdinand.
Of course, the defendant has never been proved to have lied in his life & is a paragon of virtue!

So all that despite the fact Anton's word don't even matter because he did not actually hear the words Terry said and only realised what he said from watching it on Youtube??

That is laughable The man was banned from the champions league final, after being sent off for according to him at half time " doing nothing" only having to retract the statement after being laughed at by the nation and being told he might want to change what he had said by skysports. Thenhaving to say "yes it looks quite bad" ..... more like common assault

Seems to me that this is about one of two things. Firstly to say Anton agreed everything was alright after the game and then retracted that (after seeing what he said), so is of bad character so somehow deserved what he got or what he said happened can't be trusted. Secondly that he is going to say Anton said to him, "did you call me a black c*nt", so his reply was reasonable and that he is now lying about that because he is of bad character.
Talk about trying to turn the victim into the guilty party!! What won't this useless Sc*mbag do to save his own skin?
Can't wait for his return to Loftus Rd this season, the no-good t*sser!!!
