Went to Kingswood school in Corby. Was a police cadet for a couple of years in Northampton though left that job completely. I later went to London where I lived with and went out with girlfriends from a certain area of the world.
This here concerns the one crime on my record when I was 18 years old, almost 19 years old. Years ago and over the years some people might have heard something about that one crime on my record without knowing the exact true facts. This isn't going on the internet but will go to just a few people who I give this to. No one has to read this if they don't want to.
I'm not saying other people should react as I did then if the same or a similar thing was to happen to them nor that I would react the same way now. The God's honest truth is that in the one crime on my record when I was 18 years old, almost 19 years old, for which I received three months in detention centre I was hit first by a young man from behind on the back of my head with a glass that cut the back of my head when I was a few feet away from the exit of a night-club after being advised by a friend (acquaintance) to go home because of that young man being some trouble in the night-club. My solicitor at the time said that in law I couldn't claim self-defence as I wanted to do and as I thought I should do because he said my retaliation a minute later at the exit of the night-club hadn't been immediate and so he advised me to plead guilty. Young and inexperienced I took his advice when I never should have pleaded guilty when the God's honest truth was that he had hit me first on the back of my head from behind with a weapon. The solicitor said that if I pleaded "self-defence" I would be found guilty because he said that in law it wouldn't be classified as self-defence because my retaliation a minute later at the exit of the night-club hadn't been immediate and instantaneous and the sentence would be longer than if I pleaded guilty. My dad thought that I shouldn't plead guilty but I told him what the solicitor had said to me. Witnesses were a nurse who about an hour after I suffered my injury when inspecting the injury said she saw the cut to the back of my head. A small cut on the back of my head though blood had come from the cut. Also, someone in the police station during the night wearing a suit looking like a suit that he worked in I think without a tie who was either a police doctor or a policeman wearing a suit who may have just finished a shift or was working at the time, cleansed the injury on the back of my head with a cloth and some water or something in a bottle (he might have been told that I had previously been a police cadet for I had mentioned that to them). Also, my dad the next day at the police station who I showed the injury to on the back of my head. A bouncer at the night-club who was right there at the time who when I met him briefly about three years later told me that he knew the young man had hit me first from behind with a weapon. The friend acquaintance in the night-club who had advised me to go home who saw the young man following me as I walked to the exit of the night-club. A young policeman and an older policeman who drove me to the hospital for my injury. Also, my dad stood up at the court trial and shouted out to the judge at the front of the courtroom that I had been hit first from behind with a weapon on the back of my head.
As I say it's possible some people at the time or over the years who knew me had heard something about that crime that I went to detention centre for without knowing the exact true facts about that crime. For people now today who knew nothing of that one crime on my record those are the God's honest true facts of that one crime on my record in which I was hit first from behind on the back of my head by a young man with a glass as I was nearing the exit of a night-club on my way to go home.
