@WasAcop If you are an ex cop you must have come across arson cases which fall under the same law. Endangering life is a statutory offence and intent does not need to proven, only the fact that his actions were reckless and 'could' of endangered life.
@Wrexham1978@bull_robin56713 No, criminal damage is an offence against the public and a criminal matter investigated by the state, not a private civil wrong that relies solely on the victim pressing charges.
@frankflynn20016@bull_robin56713 Danger to life under Section 1(2) of the Criminal Damage Act is a statutory offence which doesn't require the prosecution to prove intent.
@Craig18497112@Leeaafly Wrong!
Make it up as you go along!
Scroll to 6 minutes in this link to DTs own live stream. The guy jumps on before DT starts stabbing it.

@ParsonsonD@RealDonKeith Wrong!
DT started stabbing the boat after someone jumped on board.

@PhilHs10@RealDannyTommo DT was arrested for criminal damage and endangering someone's life i.e. aggravated criminal damage.
The rescue worker jumped onto the vessel prior to DT stabbing it. Check out the live feed yourself.

@PhilHs10@vicarkaren@RealDannyTommo Securing the life jackets, engine et al is standard practice before towing it back to shore to be destroyed.
This prevents sea pollution and causing hazards to other vessels.
You're clutching at straws!
@MarkHeath45 Wrong!
The link to DTs actual live stream. You can see clearly that the rescue personnel jumps on the vessel prior to when DT starts stabbing it.
Scroll to about 6 minutes in.

@RedWhite47vvz@MarkHeath45 Still making this argument? Endangering life under aggravated criminal damage is a statutory offence which means actual danger doesn't need to be proven. The fact he acted wrecklessly is enough to prove guilt (Mens Rea).
@MarkHeath45@Chelsishere2 Wearing a life jacket doesn't matter.
Endangering life under aggravated criminal damage is a statutory offence so it doesnt need to be proven there was actually danger to life or not. The fact he acted wrecklessly is enough to prove guilt (Mens Rea).
@bobstev53681908@EvacTony@RealDannyTommo Danger to life is a statutory offence. This means that a wreckless act in itself is enough to prove guilt for aggravated criminal damage (Mens Rea) whether an actual life was endangered or not.
@QwertyTr33@WasAcop@EvacTony@RealDannyTommo Danger to life is a statutory offence. This means that a wreckless act in itself is enough to prove guilt under Mens Rea whether an actual life was endangered or not under aggravated criminal damage.
@P4IN66@gowildannette@Neccccy@lorraine_teuten It doesn't matter who owned it, even if DT owned it himself it would still be considered as aggravated criminal damage. Which is one of the things he has been arrested for.
