Because, like I said, all he might have done was shove the bloke. You never shoved anyone? The other charge was dropped as the prosecution provided no evidence. If he did shove him, or even if he punched him, so what? It was one on one. Since when do we start charging blokes with assault when they have a fight, one on one? Maybe when we have a point to make or a career to ruin? Who knows. I'm not judging Leon because I wasn't there, the whole thing sounds like a complicated mess anyway and I haven't read the court transcript.
He was legally represented and pleaded guilty. You don't have any experience or, indeed, understanding of the criminal justice system do you?
The court, having heard the accepted fatcs and undoubtedly considering the relevant sentencing guidelines, has indicated custody is a possibility. As much as you don't like the situation, that is what happened...get over it.
