I was thinking; "What 3rd word country did this happen in... Calderdale? That's England... Sh*t.

With all the CCTV they have over there you'd think it'd have been filmed by someone.

Good luck getting a nursery job (they mean the daycare kind, not the plants and flowers kind) with a violent assault conviction.

BTW "Conditional Discharge" means "You've been found guilty, but we're not going to punish you (beyond court costs and compensation)". Interesting concept. Do bad stuff, get arrested, convicted, and then....don't get punished. WTF?

And... Magistrates is a type of court that is analagous to a municipal court only there is no jury or judge.

Instead of a judge there is a panel of 3 "Magistrates" who are normal citizens of good standing in the community (like notary publics) who are given training on the law and magistrates processes. The 3 magistrates sit and hear cases. They can convict and jail peope for up to 6months for a single offense or 1yr/18mo (don't recall which) for a combination of offenses heard at the same time. They only hear Misdemeanors (called Summary Offenses). Felonies (called Indictable Offenses) are heard by magistrates only for the purposes of determining if there is a case to answer, after which the case is transferred to the Crown Court (like the common Pleas Court) so in that capacity they act as a Grand Jury. Crown Court is the poncy gits with the wigs and sh*t.

The UK and US court systems share their history so are organized very similarly except for the names.
