I’ve just checked when he was jailed and it was October last year for 18 months, so he’ll still be on licence until April 2026. I know this won’t be the case but even if it was shown that he was attacked and used reasonable force to end the assault, he’s still left the country obviously without the permission of his parole officer, so he’ll be automatically recalled for that.
I got a question mate, because I don't know how it works these days, but if someone is on licence for a crime, is it any crime that will see him recalled, or just a breach of his current terms, ie a **** who shouldn't have access to the internet, would be recalled, if they gained access without authorisation. Or could they still be recalled if it's for randomly lumping some guy in the street? I'm assuming any crime, but I wasn't sure?
You can be recalled for any crime. I’m not sure if pissing in the street is still a criminal act, but you could be recalled for that. So if I went to jail for a violent offence and was caught shoplifting, I could be recalled for that. Licence is just another way of saying you are still serving the sentence the judge handed down to you, but you can serve it in the community now, don’t **** up the chance we are giving you or you’ll do the remainder in here. I know a lad who prefers to serve the full sentence in jail rather than licence. He says it’s more difficult on licence with all the restrictions on you.
