It’s nothing like the GP incident. The victim can’t remember the attack because he has sustained a brain injury. The attack was witnessed by a neighbour who was also woken up by the drunken men and then watched while ST slapped the man and then punched him. She called the ambulance.
I don’t dispute the witness and I’ve said the same on the thread dedicated to it on here.
But it’s true that the victim has given a statement about the incident which he now says he can’t remember doing due to his brain injury. So that’s the day of the attack AND the statement of a different date. TWO important things he now claims not to remember.
How do you explain the fact someone must be deemed medically capable to give a statement before doing so AND before any statement is taken the police will ascertain their capacity to go ahead by engaging in small talk and watching them, if at any point they thought he wasn’t capable they would have stopped the interview too.
it’s a very important point that the person giving the statement has to be of sound mind and the fact a statement was taken shows the police believed him to be. I hope he doesn’t want to rely on any facts he gave in his statement now because he can’t have it both ways.
