Liverpool’s Steven Gerrard Not Guilty

Many Manchester United fans will be crying into their beer tonight after the Liverpool Crown verdict of not guilty being handed to Steven Gerrard.

The Liverpool and England football player was handed out by the jury after hearing evidence that the player, who was at a club drinking with friends, struck the resident DJ after being told he couldn’t play his own choice of music.

The footballer threw the first of consecutive punches that led to a free for all with Gerrard’s friends being involved in the fracas that followed. Amazingly, Gerrard claimed that he threw the punch in “self-defence” saying that he thought the DJ was becoming aggressive.

Many would argue that the best form of self-defence in this situation would be to walk away but instead he actually pursued the DJ into a back room.
