Have Richard Osborn-Brooks charges dropped.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Richard was protecting his home against two burglars, one armed with a screw driver. He was protecting his home and wife, facing immediate danger and had his life threatend. We, the british public want this man to have all charges dropped.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. The police and the CPS are responsible for deciding whether to charge people with a crime.
