Plastic spoons only.

I've read the article three times and I still don't understand why this guy is on trial. What am I missing?

Can I join you in being lost why he was charged? This is the most open shut self defense case that I have ever seen!

I've read it a few times myself and am wondering the same. Guy shows up with 'cudgel', and door is described as 'partially opened'.......I suspect that the door was not opened by Richardson.

In all fairness to the Brits, there are plenty of people here in the US who would like to institute the same on us.

Sounds like they showed up for the sole purpose of beating the h**l out of him, and were going to push their way into his house to do so...........it also sounds like Mr Richardson wasn't having any of that........
