Sutil will stand trial in a German court later this month

Forgive me for cherry-picking one line from your post, but everybody would do well to take note:

That applies to us all, unless you were party to the incident.

Who was that chap (a father of 2 I think) that was knifed to death while trying to disperse thugs......

In this country, where it is doubtful you'd notice if the police went on a 24 day strike, you tend not to get involved where violence is concerned because the law is no longer a deterrant to the detritus of society.

How do you stop a kid being kicked into a coma, put your own head in the way to take the moral high ground and appease the forum wallahs?

Could be that dad simply didn't want his kid in a school where children kick other children into comas ?

It would be reason enough for me .

But the question remains . Why is Lewis a coward in Sutil's eyes ?
If nobody can come up with a reasonable answer , then there clearly is more to this story we don't know .

So , we must not have the real answer to why he didn't show up at the trial .

Ask Adrian Sutil. They're his words. He's the only one who can answer your question.

What the hell happened with the desire for truth, friendship and common sense in modern society?!

Just as good an opportunity for you to try to brush his bad deeds under the carpet, again. People in glass houses and all the rest...

Wouldn't be the first time for him.
