Murder Trial: Gothard's Pride or Self-Defense?

0:00A murder trials gripping Lester Crown Court, where 36-year-old Nathan Gothert faces charges for killing 66-year-old David Dark. Outside the Crown Inn in Applebee Magna, last Christmas season, Gothert had been drinking heavy, tossing loot remarks at women from a staff party inside the pub, turning the vibe tense around 9 p.m. Staff dragged them out the back door, pointed him to her home just across the car park, but he looped around front, itching for trouble. He squared up with a guy from Dark's group, took a beating, hit the ground hard, then Dark stepped in, helping pull the shaking Gothert back on his, feet, fury boiled over.

Shredds his self-defense story, calling it straight up murder to reclaim his pride, with the seven-day trial pushing forward. That's the story for today, Lester News. Today, driven by AI.
