It wasted some £4,000 of taxpayer money, dragged a 12-year old boy through the British court system for months, terrorizing him and made Britain look totally insane to the rest of the world. But finally, the British authorities have dropped the charges against the boy for his offense. That "crime" was to throw a cocktail sausage at a man.
The case of a boy charged with assaulting a pensioner with a cocktail sausage in a 'Just William-style' prank is set to be dropped after spiralling in cost, it was revealed today.
The bill for prosecuting the 12-year-old, who allegedly threw the pork snack at elderly neighbour is thought to have reached £4,000.
But now after the case was taken to court and adjourned FIVE times Crown lawyers are expected to announce they are offering no evidence against the schoolboy.
His mother, who said a 'notice of discontinuation' has been issued, today launched a furious attack on prosecutors for making her son's life a 'living nightmare'.
She said: "It was absolutely ludicrous to bring him before the court for that. My boy is in bits.
“Every night before he had to go to court he couldn't sleep.
"He was thinking somebody was going to come and take him off to prison."
Well, yes, they sent Sherlock Holmes, in fact. Got to have those priorities all straight and all. For example, the same authorities spent all that time and money on the case of the killer cocktail weenie which distracted them from requiring a violent offender to wear a monitoring bracelet. So that yob was free to attend a drunken party where he murdered a 15-year old.
It's all about priorities.
Meanwhile, the hundreds of would-be jihadis anxious to bring the 7th century to Britain go unmolested by the police.
Glad to see they have their priorities straight.
