¡@ October 15, 2001 (Monday) from Yahoo! Retrial of two Leeds United players startsHULL (Reuters) - The jury in the trial of two Leeds United players accused of assaulting a student has been sworn in. Defender Jonathan Woodgate, 21, and midfielder Lee Bowyer, 24, are charged with causing grievous bodily harm with intent to Sarfraz Najeib in January 2000, and affray. They deny the charges. Two other men, Paul Clifford and Neale Caveney, also eny causing grievous bodily harm with intent. Legal argument delayed the opening of the trial for two weeks until Monday when the judge ruled the prosecution could begin their case. An earlier trial of the four defendants was stopped in April because of an article in a Sunday newspaper. Woodgate, who has played once for England, and Bowyer are among the country's finest prospects. The English Football Association has ruled the players are ineligible for selection until "the conclusion of the legal process". ¡@ ¡@ Previous article: Drama as Leeds case collapse Next article: Court told Leeds players attacked student ¡@ |
