Barmen not guilty

[BIGTYM2010]

The bar manager and barman accused of manslaughter of an English man in 2008
Were found not guilty today,the man was believed to have drank a cocktail of between 8-10 spirits in one go,later dying of alcohol poisoning. Mr.dalton(barman) served the drink and the order was cleared by bar manager(mr.Wright)...
My question-do you guys think they should have been charged or not?
Wile understanding it is outrages to serve someone that many drinks at once,and it was new laws and legislations that but them in the firing line,should they be responsible for what an adult decides to drink etc...


*newsflash* this just in perverted judge seen this morning on nationwide

It is a tricky one

Is the bar responsible for the wellbeing of itsn clientel considering there is a good chance that a lot of them will not be able to make decesions as they will be inhibriated. Honestly I think that he should not ahve been served that amount of drink at any stage but then again if he bought them in an off licence or Dunnes etc would they be held accountable for teh same outcome?

IT is a difficult one but my own opinion is they should not have been charged.

I think it will put all other Bar staff on notice that they have to be responsible about serving drink. A good result

The store can't be held accountable, we they only sell you the booze unopened, what you do with it is then up to you. Those barmen put a lethal dose of alcohol into a pint glass and gave it to someone who was already pissed knowing full well he was going to drink it.

the insurance company will insure the person on the condition that he/she has a full licence holder beside them in the car at all time and are abiding by the rules of the road. If they are not doing both of these things their insurance is null and void, as such they are not covered and we all know when you have no insurance you can not drive. So IMO it's the persons fault not the companies.
