An inmate at Durham Prison head butted a prison officer, leaving him covered in blood and in severe pain. The officer grappled with the prisoner and, fearing he had a home-made knife, punched him to restrain and disarm him. The officer was signed off sick after the assault, but was then suspended. Eight months later, he was told by police that he was being charged with assault!
The judge at Durham Crown Court threw the case out. Yet, at an internal disciplinary tribunal the prison office, John Brown, was sacked despite having a clean record.
A word about the inmate: there was evidence that he had threatened to kill an officer and he has 50 previous convictions, 11 of which were for violence.
The Crown Prosecution Service said the prisoner was not charged with assault because "it could not be proved that he had not been acting in self-defence".
In Summary
The CIC at Durham Prison should be ashamed of themselves for acting as their name suggests. It is deplorable that in the UK, yet again, a cheat/liar/thug/criminal is deemed either the victim or worthy of defending, while an honest citizen loses out. Disgusting.
The CPS is quite simply, based on so many examples of behaviour and outcomes, a rabble of useless cunts with no backbone.
[NB: CIC = Cunts In Charge]
