Can someone explain this to me?

I've just read this article about a man who "accidentally" shot a burglar.

I have no problem with that, the men where trying to raid his house, by all means take action.

 

But I am a little confused by the article. It says he's up on a charge on "unlawful wounding", but reading the article, the man in question was running a cannabis farm woth £60,000 a year...... surely he should be being convicted for supply and distribution of illegal substances?

Sorry, posted something then thought better of it!

There is a lesson there I'm sure!

There's a new article in the HT now stating that he's been ... can't think of the word now.. judged... for 7  SENTENCED!! It was sentenced... for 7 years for drug farming.

Yes - what I was going to post was that I thought there was a separate trial for these offences....then worried I might be making a comment I shouldn't, so deleted it. I have been called "irresponsible" once, its not going to happen twice!

You'll be quite safe here Dippy, this isn't the HT ;)

Thanks for those reassuring words Biomech!

I always think, before I post - but now I think twice before sticking my two pence worth in to certain discussions!!
