John Terry

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Brave English Lion John "JT" Terry is is court today for allegedly doing a racism.

Chelsea and England defender John Terry is due to stand trial later accused of racially abusing QPR's Anton Ferdinand.

The case relates to a comment allegedly made to Queens Park Rangers defender Anton Ferdinand when the teams played last October.

The 31-year-old is charged with a racially-aggravated public order offence, for which the maximum sentence is a £2,500 fine.

The Chelsea skipper's trial takes place at Westminster Magistrates' Court.

Police questioned Mr Terry under caution in November 2011 and a file on the matter was sent to the Crown Prosecution Service at the beginning of December.

The decision to investigate the former England captain was taken when police received a complaint from a member of the public after the Premier League match at Loftus Road.

As a summary offence under the Crime and Disorder Act, it will be fully heard in a magistrates' court.

Mr Terry, who won the Champions League and the FA Cup with Chelsea this season, was part of the England team that reached the quarter-finals of Euro 2012 last month.

Thing is, and I might be being stupid here, but in the days after the game, when the controversy began, the replays clearly showed Terry mouthing something unpleasant towards Ferdinand. Then as soon as JT is arrested and charged, the footage is blurred out by the Press. Why does it take a five day trial to debate what he said, when the evidence is there?

I see the maximum fine is £2500 if found guilty. How on earth will he afford that...?

Worrying financial times for him.

Based on lip-reading evidence, Crown says Ferdinand said to Terry: "Oih you shagging ya mates missus" - accompanied by 'fist gesture'

I'm sure that as he is a soft target for fans, for opponents, for the press, and for the CPS, the court will have no problem meting out appropriate justice

Innocent until proven otherwise.

As much as I dislike JT I find this whole judgment based on lip reading all a bit dodgy TBH.

I do not care how he gets locked up, as long as he is locked up.

True but I'll make an exception for JT

He regularly clocks this up in no time parking in disabled bays around South West London....

He can't be locked up for this.

The maximum he can get is £2.5k fine.

Er, because the law of this land (as well as ECHR legislation) states that a person is entitled to a fair trial before the appropriate legal body? Trial by SkySports hasn't yet been approved by the European Courts.
