latest score from the law courts. Gremlin 1 …. Justice 0
This is a real short one and posted to show just how ludicrous the criminal system is.
Maybe there’s a valid reason and not being a legal eagle, I just do not understand.
Here’s a guy who attacks someone with a ball bat and who has previous convictions for assault and criminal damage. So it isn’t his first brush with the law.
So he’s arrested and says no he didn’t do it but hey, the guy what got whacked knows but no matter. He’s going to trial.
Meanwhile .... he goes on Facebook and brags that he thinks he “got away with it.” Smart huh?
However .... someone grasses him and shows the court his postings and so he had to change his plea to guilty.
Justice will be served.
Oh yeah? Ya think?
Have another thunk.
‘I think I got away with it’: ‘Stupid’ ABH criminal convicted after bragging to friends on Facebook before jury began deliberations
Michael Ruse changed his plea to guilty after his Facebook updates were printed off and delivered to court anonymously
He had been on trial for attacking his friend’s father with a baseball bat and baton
Asked by a friend how the case was going, he wrote: ‘Yeah I think I get away with it tbh x (sic)’He described the judge as ‘stuck up’ in another update after he was convicted
But he escaped with a suspended prison sentence, a curfew and a fine
By ROB PREECEMichael Ruse, 21, was on trial at Portsmouth Crown Court with his friend Terry Reeve for attacking Reeve’s father, Gareth, with a baseball bat and baton.
But he changed his plea to guilty after the court was shown a printout of his updates about the case on the social networking website.
Even after he was convicted, he went back online to call the judge in the case ‘stuck up’ - only hours before he was sentenced.
Just before the jury was sent out, Ruse, of Leigh Park, Hampshire, posted a status update on the social networking site saying: ‘Another week at court.’
When asked by a friend about the case he added: ‘Yeah I think I get away with it tbh x (sic)’.
Ruse, who used the name Michael Miles online, added that the case was ‘looking good’ for him.
There is more HERE if you want the rest.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:
It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
- Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
- Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
- Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
- Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

Oh, and here's some kind of visitor flag counter thingy. Hey, all the cool blogs have one, so I should too. The Visitors Online thingy up at the top doesn't count anything, but it looks neat. It had better, since I paid actual money for it.
