On April 24th, a 39-year-old ruffer named James Kempster just walked free from a wild court case in Hampshire. He faced charges for dumping 50 dead hairs, plus a bar now, and a Kestro outside the Broughton Village Shop back on March 15th at 3. 23 AM, turning the place into a bloody mess with smeared windows. Magistrates cleared him of criminal damage, saying they couldn't pin it on him beyond reasonable doubt from the CCTV footage. Magistrates pointed to matching clothes, DNA on the birds, and phone tracking, plus a burned out 4x4 nearby linked to his family. But the defense argued, the CCTV showed him 26 hours earlier in different gear and a different ride, and any DNA could be transferable from his. Brother, who they suggested might be, the real culprit. Locals were horrified, with villagers pitching in to clean up the heavy bags of carcasses that ended up on a compost heap. Kempster, a father of three living in a caravan park, denied everything, saying he barely
knew the area and wouldn't snitch even if he did. In the end, the judges nailed him on two counts of possessing dead wild birds under the Wildlife and Countryside Act, thanks to solid DNA evidence on. Both. They noted the trousers logo didn't even match the video guy. He'll get sentenced June 23rd while on bail, banned from Broughton, and as he shredded out, he hit reporters with a cheeky tweet-tweet, leaving everyone buzzing about what really went down that night.
