Roger Mexico Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 It actually says under the photo: "Jason Quayle (FACEBOOK) We have been asked to conceal the dog's identity". But the whole piece is a classic: A man who punched a teenager just hours after he had been handed a suspended sentence has been jailed for seven months. Jason Craig Quayle denied the common assault charge but was found guilty after a trial in summary court. Quayle swore repeatedly as magistrates sentenced him to one month custody for the assault and also ordered him to serve the full six-month sentence, which had previously been suspended. The 24-year-old was handed the suspended sentence on June 16 last year after he threw a crisp stand onto the floor in Shoprite in Peel and abused staff after he was refused alcohol. He then spat in the face of a police officer. Magistrates sentenced him to six months custody, suspended for two years. Despite this, later that night on June 16, Quayle was sitting near the skate park on Peel promenade at 11.30pm with a female. We previously reported that the victim was walking past with his brother and a friend when he said Quayle shouted: ‘What are you looking at?’ The 17-year-old responded, saying: ‘You.’ This prompted Quayle to say ‘I’ll take your head off’ then square up to him, before punching him on the side of the face. Quayle, who lives at Reayrt Ny Chrink, Crosby, was later arrested for the assault and when interviewed, handed in a prepared statement. He said there had been a verbal argument initially and claimed that the victim had swung a fist at him. Quayle claimed he had responded by using an open palm. So that makes it OK then. Never change Peel, never change. Paul Glover's 'valiant' defence also had some gems: ‘He is working full-time as a fisherman. If sent to custody he would lose his job. ‘He would go to prison, come out, and be without a job. ‘He may not be able to find gainful employment for some time.’ (Because fishermen are a notoriously law-abiding lot). Mr Glover said that his client had been making progress while on probation and if he was sent to jail that progress would be interrupted. ‘Mr Quayle is dedicated and motivated to change his behaviour going forward,’ said the advocate. ‘He has shown in the last six or seven months he is capable of making changes in his life. ‘We would ask that he be given one final opportunity. This [ie six months] is his longest period of time without a conviction since 2018.’ Which rather suggests he's had a lot of final opportunities before. Though you can't help noticing that the Courts consider violence against a crisp stand six times more serious than violence against a person. And effectively let him off all his unpaid fines.

Though you can't help noticing that the Courts consider violence against a crisp stand six times more serious than violence against a person. And effectively let him off all his unpaid fines. But still no mention of the dog. Was he an innocent bystander? Did he inform on Quayle? Is he now in witness protection? Is he Quayle's and would be homeless if he was imprisoned? Does he have puppies to look after? Has he been psychologically damaged after witnessing the Crisp Stand incident? Is he an undercover police dog who infiltrated Quayle's fisherman cartel? 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Phantom Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 A dog's nose is apparently akin to a fingerprint. The kennel club even uses nose prints to identify dogs. Surely they should have blacked out his nose in this case? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Declan Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 The dog was convicted for scoffing the crisps that fell to the floor but can't be identified because he's under 18. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I read that plus the rest of the blow by blow account. Of course, all the issues mentioned are very much in the public interest not. Including the classic troublemaker line "who are you looking at" etc etc. Still, the crisps must be defended.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
