Two brothers embroiled in a brawl at Manchester Airport are set for a retrial next April over accusations of assaulting a police officer. The incident involving Mohammed Fahir Amaaz, 20, and Muhammad Amaad, 26, garnered widespread attention after being filmed and shared on social media.

 

Amaaz was found guilty of assaulting a member of the public and two female police officers during the fracas. However, the jury at Liverpool Crown Court couldn't reach a unanimous decision on whether the brothers caused actual bodily harm to PC Zachary Marsden. After deliberating for 10 hours, the jury remained deadlocked.

 

Judge Neil Flewitt KC has scheduled the retrial for 7 April next year, with the proceedings expected to take three to four weeks. The delay was attributed to the professional commitments of the defence counsel, which prevented an earlier trial date.

 

Following the guilty verdicts, Amaaz was remanded in custody, with a bail hearing set for 26 August. Meanwhile, his brother Amaad remains free on unconditional bail. The BBC reported that all eyes are focused on the retrial, eager to witness the unfolding of this high-profile case, as the court drama continues.

 

Stay tuned as this legal saga develops, with potential implications for the individuals involved and the broader community watching closely.

Amazing how slow the system works for these two. And Ricky Jones.

 

The Southport social media posters were arrested charged convicted and jailed for unusually long sentences all within a week. Very efficient in that case. It's almost like everything else was put on hold. Akin to the parting of the red sea for those awful "posters".

 

I guess the 2 tier process is in place from start to finish. Tyrannical.

 

I wonder if Labour's racist 2 tier sentencing guidelines will have been pushed through before the retrial? I'd actually prefer the 2 tier system was official for the whole world to see rather than the "move along nothing to see here you're imagining it" approach we are seeing now.

Jonny misrepresenting reality again.

 

These two criminals (now convicted on two counts) were tried in Crown Court, not magistrates courts, and their trial could not take place until after the internal police complaints procedure was completed.

 

 Keep stroking your grievance Jonny, you know it feeds your needs.

As has always been the case, Great Britain is leading the world in political reform. Reagan said that freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction, and British politicians of every ilk are determined to prove him right.

The Crown Prosecution  Service were very reluctant to prosecute these two individuals, it took the threat of a private case from the Reform Party for  the authorities to take action,otherwise they’d have got off Scot free. As you correctly state it’s a two tier legal system now in the UK

I doubt Ricky Jones will ever come to trial.

Utter nonsense.

 

Ask AI and get the answer:

 

“

• Did Reform UK force the CPS to prosecute? No.

• They threatened action through a private prosecution, but the decision remained with the CPS, which ultimately did charge the brothers independently.

• CPS acted based on legal frameworks, evidence, and coordination with GMP and IOPC—not pressure from Reform UK.“
