For grabbing hold of someone or pushing someone. It would never have got to court normally.

It does if you break down the door to get at them first.

except they didnt break the door down - they tricked there way in, somehting to do with reardons kid being taken to hospital. She opened the door for them and they pushed past, hardly the same as breaking it down imo.

I believe it's called gaining entry thru deception. It's still a crime but not to the same degree of kicking the door in

I think it would if you had "broken" into their house.

Im no legal god, this is grossely generalised and I appreciate this is a pretty irrelvent question but i'll be interested to see what ppl think:

As I see it, Price and Reardon got into a house they weren't wanted in and Reardon got abit slap happy with his ex missis. Her new piece came with a baseball bat, Leon Pryce gave him a bit of a shove and tumble, yesterdays outcome is their punishment. Its Done With.

What if someone was to gain entry to my house. Say i'd forgot to lock the door when I went to bed. They were on the rob, having a good look for my piggy bank and I heard em downstairs. First thing i'd do would be to grab a baseball bat and go investigate. I do this and find two unwanteds in my house. They slap my missis about and then push me over. Now...do think I'd be happy with the punishment given to these burglars. Because our legal system is so fair of course it would be a suspended sentance for the heavy handed one and community service for the other???Thoughts................. ???

As I said Ive dumbed it down alot, and I know some people will take the "That'll never happen, different scenarios etc etc tact. But lets think hypothetically......Go on...let yourselves.

If they did, but they didn't.

So if I "tricked" (rather than broke if you prefer) my way into your house in a threatening manner then shoved you over, you don't think I would get in trouble?






What's your address?

If Mrs Reardon's new partner had used the rounders bat (note: not baseball bat) effectively we wouldn't be having this discussion. And if Pryce was indeed acting as a peacemaker it might not have been the best idea to go to Queensbury with Stu.

Has the divorce between Reardon and his estranged wife been finalised, if not is he entitled to enter his own house ?

I said it wouldn't go to court, not that you wouldn't end up in trouble. How you trick your way in in a threatening manner I'm not sure.

It wasn't the family home.

Your statement is incorrect. The reports of the case clearly said Reardon forced the door, the Judge said the same, and Reardon has to pay for the said door.

... so will saints be expected to sanction Leon or not?
