Alison Saunders, Cheif Crown Prosecutor for London ( aktor i saken ) uttalte i dag:
“I have today advised the Metropolitan Police Service that John Terry should be prosecuted for a racially aggravated public order offence following comments allegedly made during a Premier League football match between Queen’s Park Rangers and Chelsea on 23 October 2011.
“The decision was taken in accordance with the Code for Crown Prosecutors and after careful consideration of all the evidence I am satisfied there is sufficient evidence for a realistic prospect of conviction and it is in the public interest to prosecute this case.
“Mr Terry will appear before West London Magistrates’ Court on 1 February 2012.
“He is now summonsed with a criminal offence and has the right to a fair trial. It is extremely important that nothing should be reported which could prejudice his trial.”
Det ser ikke ut til at politiet eller domstolen er spesielt enige med Terry, som hele veien har hevdet sin uskyld. FA har foreløpig ikke gjort spesielt mye i forhold til saken, men sett i lys av straffen de har gitt Suarez, så må de følge opp linja her.
