Apparently he is a citeh fan and not a manure fan.
I heard off a copper mate of mine that he didn't want to press charges against Gerrard and it was the CPS that have brought the charges against him based on cctv footage. They have also taken into account that he was signing autographs and having his photo taken all night, so that may work in his favour.
He was bailed to appear in court later this month by the police not the CPS. The CPS do not get involved that early. Once he was bailed by the police the file is then sent to CPS to see if there is a case to answer.
Thats not quite correct. Under new charging guidlines the Police afer interview/initial enquiries go to the CPS for charging advice. In this case as it was out of hours it would have been a duty solicitor form CPS direct.
All the material is sent to this solicitor who decides if there is enough evidence to charge. If there is not, and further enquiries are needed then the solcitor will request certain tasks to be completed and the suspect is given police bail. The police then have time to make enquiries, go back to the CPS and get a decision before the suspect returns from bail.
If there are no enquiries that the solicitor can see that need to be done then the suspect will be released no further action.
In this case the solicitor has decided that there is enough evidence and the suspect (Stevie) has been charged with two offences and given bail to attend court.
It has already been decided that there is a case to answer because he has been charged!!!
