Following on from my early post http://captain-hooks-notes.blogspot.com/2007/01/cycling-court-case.html here.
Daniel's appeal has been heard by Judge R W Onions at Shrewsbury Crown Court and the ruling is "No Case To Answer", the conviction and sentence having been overturned. Of course there is not case to anwser, the original conviction basically said Daniel should not be cycling on a Public Highway.
At last, some sense from the whole system. At first we couldn't believe the police would even send the case to the CPS, then we couldn't believe the CPS actually went ahead with the case and finally the Judge (you know, the one who is supposed to really understand the law and ensure a fair trial) actually convicted Daniel.
Daniel has lived with this sentence over his head for 7 months, I know he and his family have been under a great deal of stress because of it.
