Gray's found Guilty

Fantastic news! However, sorry to be so cynical, but I bet the sentence will be nothing like what he deserves (or nothing like what I personally and most of you I am sure, would like to sentence him to!).
 
"Custodial sentances unlikely"......Pah! They should lock them away now and throw away the key!

Only mentions the wife and kids, which kind of indicates that JG himself might get a custodial sentence??

It will never be enough, but I really hope he gets the maximum that the law can give out!

Only for 4 members of the family though.......
 
I would love to see him have his assets stripped but I just don't see it, a worm like him will have hidden his money or transferred assets to family members etc.
 
Fantastic result, lets hope that justice for the horses is served in sentancing.

Does anyone know what they made of the 'animals of less worth can be beaten up' statement?
 


Yes you scum.....we waited for the truth to come out.....and it did.

Brilliant news - I take it the rescued horses are safe now ?

Many of them are based near me , but the sanctuary couldn't say much until the court case . The public donated so much money for them that it would have been a travesty to put it mildly , if the horses were returned .

Wonder if I'm still in line to ' Get my legs broken ' by one of his 'delightful' daughters as she threatened to on here a while back

I wouldn't get your hopes up, the maximum a court can impose is 6 months imprisonment.

I think it's more about the courts recognising that this sort of thing cannot continue to go unpunished though. That the implications are jail time and heavy financial penalities.
 
Costs are upwards of £300,000 to the RSPCA so far. Lets hope the courts sieze Spindle Farm and sell it to pay for the costs involved.
 
Woop Woop! Well I hope if 1 particular member on here has a hat, he's cooking it well before eating it!!!!
This is not just a huge outcome for the Spindles Farm Case, but a long awaited statement from the courts - Animal Cruelty will not be tolerated!!
I am Delighted. Only wish I was down the yard now not stuck at work. i want to give my pony a big squeeze.
 
I just hope the sentencing isn't a real disappointment. I would like to see his home/land repossesed as payment for fees/costs incurred so at least there would be no way he could start the same trade again.

That's what I was referring to

Of course 6 decades might be more like it, or perhaps 6 hours in a locked room with a few HHOers lol.

Echo AmyMay - I think this shows that animal cruelty won't be tolerated, and I hope the sentence reflects that.

Would you want to buy Spindles Farm?? Damn sure I wouldn't.

Oddly... I would. I'd knock everything down, leave it a few years to sort the fields out and make it all nice and turn it into an equine rescue. Would be changing the name to something else though, but I think you could make something really good out of what happened there.
 
I doubt very much he'll go to prison or get much of a fine, hopefully he'll get a ban from owing any equines in the future although how that can be monitored I don't know. He'll probably just get some community service - hope to be proved wrong though.

But at least this little lady and her buddies won't be returned to him, that alone is enough to be happy about:

Excellent news!!

Not sure about the high figures mentioned for legal fees though,defence team probably didn't have to do enough work to justify those kind of sums!!

In reference to the farm,does he actually own that,I had a feeling it was mentioned it was owned by another family member and they were just tenants?? could be wrong though.

Of course if they haven't been employed since all this happened and they don't have assets,they have probably gotten legal aid for all this,bl**dy ironic that would be,and so typical of those type of people.

Doubt there will be much of a custodial sentence,or fines/money to be paid,but hopefully they will be banned for keeping animals for life,which is the main thing.

Wonder what myjack is making of it all.....................lol
