All depends?
did he hit him for 6
or was it for 4
waiting on 3rd umpire!!
There is also a report that the allegedly "brain-damaged" burglar has now been arrested in connection with credit card frauds committed after he was injured.
Typical - theres our cricket team struggling in RSA last week whilst theres an obvious wealth of batsmen residing in the UK.
No. The guy did not defend himself against a burglar, he called in his chums and chased the guy down the street, and attacked him. That's not self-defence, that's revenge. Revenge is the prerogative of the criminal law system, and I'm surprised to see the judges reneging on their duty it in this case. He may consider himself extremely lucky. Those who rely on judges to enforce the law rather than give vent to their sympathies may find this an awkward precedent.

yes but clearly he didn't do enough dammage as the theiving scum was out robbing and theiving again it would seem. No wonder society is in a mess when we have yoghurt knitting do gooding little sh1tbags defending the scum. No doubt if it was your place jno you'd invite that chap back for a nice cup of tea!
No, I'd want the law to deal with it. Do you want the rule of law or not?
-- answer removed --
I didn't think I would ever say this but, I must agree with jno on this one.

No, No, No, it is not just because Munir Hussain is a Muslim, that's before you all accuse me of being racist.

It is because the attack on the criminals did not take place in Munir Hussain's home, at the time of the crime

Most of us would agree that these thugs deserved a good beating up, but sanity must exist.

Say for instance these criminals were recognised days after their crime, would one be in their right to approach them and knock hell out of them?

A nice thought but we don't really want these revenge practises to become acceptable, do we?
If and buts are raisins and nuts. There will not be alot of sympathy for the 'victim', people wont give a toot cahoot what the law says simply because a very large percentage of the UKs population love stories like this. Regardless.
I don't know that e know enough of the details

I see his Brother's sentence was not suspended

Whether this is the right result rather depends on who did what and when.

Chasing someone down the street and beating the hell out of them whilst they lie bleeding on the ground is not self defence in any sense of the word.

What they may have done to him may be mitigating circumstances but it does not make him not guilty.
They haven't been retried and found not guilty. The convictions still stand. The appeal court has determined that the provocation was such that a suspended sentence is the appropriate punishment in one case.
Definately the right result.
