1) Steven Gerrard cleared of attacking a DJ in a nightclub brawl. Had he been found guilty, he would have stared at a prison sentence. Even though CCTV footage showed the DJ being hit by a barrage of blows, Gerrard walked free.
2) Amy Winehouse found not guilty of common assault. She denied punching a fan that had asked for her photograph.
You don’t need to be a genius to realise that if you or I had been in the dock, rather than Stevie or Wino, we would have been found guilty as charged.
The sad reality is that we live in a celebrity-mad society and these ludicrous verdicts (which scream double standards) are one of the least palatable by-products.
