and then you have taken what little they have reported and tried to fill in the gaps with speculation
nobody can pass judgement on guilt until all has been revealed. when that happens it will be in the courts' hands.
Wrong again.
I have commented on what has been reported. Unlike those on the other side of the argument, I havent speculated on anything.
Like these things for example.
"Police said the four brothers arrived at the unit block with a group of other men after their brother-in-law, Michael Archer, was threatened outside the building.
Mr Archer had been called to the unit by his mother, who was upset at being abused after she asked for a stop to noise in a neighbouring unit.
Outside the unit block, partygoer Huy Lu had threatened to shoot Mr Archer in the leg "for the fun of it", police said.
The group which included the Pritchard brothers, and who had all earlier been drinking with Mr Archer, allegedly armed themselves with two tyre levers and an empty bottle and confronted Mr Lu and other men at the front of the building.
Mr Lu suffered either a broken jaw or cheekbone after being struck with one of the tyre levers.
The fact sheet said Mr Lee, who had arrived at the building only moments earlier to pick up a friend from the party, attempted to stop the assault.
It says the person who attacked Mr Lu then turned on Mr Lee, who pulled the knife in an attempt to scare them away.
He was then allegedly set on by the Pritchard brothers, who began kicking and punching him.
Mr Lee, who told police he did not usually carry a knife, swung the weapon, connecting a number of times with the four brothers.
He lost his grip of the knife after it became embedded in Thomas Pritchard's chest, police said.
Mr Lee was then grabbed by the throat as he attempted to run away. He was punched in the mouth before freeing himself and locking himself in a friend's car.
The fact sheet said the group including some of the Pritchard brothers smashed the car's windows in an attempt to get at Mr Lee before police arrived and arrested everyone.
Liverpool police commander Superintendent Mick Plotecki said detectives planned to interview an additional eight people, including the Pritchard brothers.
"Once we have the complete picture and the forensic results back, we will be laying charges appropriate to the evidence before us," Supt Plotecki said.
Police did not oppose bail because Mr Lee did not have a criminal history and they were investigating whether he had acted in self-defence, he said. "
But yeah, I suppose I can't rely on police fact sheets either right?
I asked you if he should have been charged. You still haven't answered my question.
