The jury heard evidence that Gerrard was prevented from playing his own choice of music by in-house DJ Mark McGee. Gerrard became infuriated when McGee refused to allow play his own music and pursued the DJ to a backroom and struck him in self-defence because he thought he was becoming aggressive towards him.

In any other court and with any other person in the dock, this defence would have been laughed out of court; but no – it’s really true, there’s one law for the rich and one law for the poor.
