The trial, featuring unbelievably sad detail.

Following his death, Mr James’ family hailed him as a “hero and idol” and it has now emerged he was offered a police bravery award for helping to catch a mugger.

Mr James tackled the man as he tried to rob an elderly lady, pinning down the mugger until police arrived. However, he opted not to receive the bravery award because he did not want to be in the limelight.

I really hope the "not over 30mph, so can't be dangerous" argument was an over simplipication by the journalist, not the actual argument accepted for downgrading the charge.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

Mention another user by @username

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
