Jeff Hendrick

[pureclaret]

Not sure if anything on about his court case, last time i saw anything was he was supposed to be going to trail in July 2017. and could get up to 10 years.
Any news (not trump style)

[IndigoLake]

I'd completely forgotten about this. I assume the club is reasonably confident of a favourable outcome since they signed him.

[MiltonKeynesClaret93]

If that was a possibility I don't think we'd have shelled out an 8 figure fee for him.
I sincerely hope not anyway.

[LoveCurryPies]

Next court appearance June 6th according to various newspaper sites

[Fretters]

I sincerely hope not anyway.

The 8 figure fee helped us net a 9 figure fee so maybe the club were just prepared to take the risk, whether he's sent down or not.

Forgive my ignorance boys, what's he done?

[MarkGreen]

Forgive my ignorance boys, what's he done?

A group dragged a man out of a taxi and battered him, Apparently Jeff and his friend caused a triple fracture to his jaw, broken teeth and head brusing

[cricketfieldclarets]

No previous. Good character. Etc.

Suspended sentence at worse.

Most likely a fine and damages.

community service 3pm each Saturday Aug through 'till May would be a concern!

[cricketfieldclarets]

No summer tournament. He could do it in 2 weeks. You choose when you do cs round your job.

Those quotes refer to June 6th 2016, his trial was set for July 3rd 2017 at that appearance.

A person I know was done for violent disorder and absolutely NO PUNCHES were thrown.....it's just that violence would have taken place if not for police intervention.
He got around 4 years in prison I believe...

where is it reported that he '...never threw a punch...' Minnie?

So reading that article.....the victim was dragged out of the taxi by Hendrick, then followed and attacked by someone else. With Hendrick being the one to start it by dragging the victim out of the car I think he will be going to prison.....they really hit people hard for violent disorder these days....

[COYC73]

I think Minnie is assuming that because Hendricks buddy is also charged with 'assault causing harm' and Hendrick doesn't face that charge.....that Hendrick didn't throw a punch and his buddy was the one who attacked the victim....but they will definitely take into consideration that Hendrick started it by dragging the victim out of the taxi in the first place IMO

[minnieclaret]

I have read in another article that it was his buddy who did the damage. Unfortunately I can't find it.
If every ruck ended in gaol time the prisons would be full! oh! hang on.
The guy who's done the damage has a greater risk of prison but in Ireland I'd be surprised.
Compo and good behaviour for 2years for me. That's not what I would give them.

How do they treat them in EIRE, where the offence took place and where he will be tried?
Just curious as I'm guessing your experience is with UK courts, not EIRE.

That's how it will play out, video on the screen of his heroics during Euro 2016, get them bouncing in court, no jury in Ireland will convict him. As Garners says, even he could get him off.

Yeah, I've no idea if Violent Disorder will be dealt with in the same way or a different manner in Ireland....
Was basing my thoughts on UK courts as you rightly pointed out, could be completely different over there

[dpinsussex]

Didnt think you were that type of character

[Bfcboyo]

Does anybody have further information on this? Pre trial hearing was set for May according to an online article.

are pre-trial hearings in the public domain or held in camera?

[IanMcL]

The jury may be 'directed' by the judge. Assume club understood the likely outcome before shelling out...

At that rate, the victim will be lucky not to get the fine and community service.

Jeff took a big risk coming to us with this hanging over cos we all know how the world is against little old Burnley and even if the jury dont think he's guilty they will probably give him a couple of years just to spite us

Isn't this case in Ireland? Don't Burnley provide 4/11th of the current Ireland team - of which Jeff is one?

[Devils_Advocate]

But the whole world is against Burnley. Have you forgotten about the way Gray and Barton were treated just because they were playing for us and remember all those nasty pundits and biased referee's.

Mark my words if it goes to trial whilst he is a Burnley player his days as a free man are numbered

Nah, just one or two posters on here.
