Bailed

Just been reading the story of what happened on the night Ryan Hall was charged, leading to his 20 week jail sentence.
As it has turned out he was granted bail on Friday pending appeal so got to play yesterday, although Southend lost 2-1 :(
After Southend's Christmas party in mid December Hall, full Back Sean Clohessy and another un-named player were leaving when "the victim" came up to them and racially abused Hall, then during the argument he punched Hall fracturing his jaw, Hall went back inside the club and came out with a bottle (the offensive weapon) and Hall and Clohessy punched the guy and then Hall kicked him when he went down, the bottle was not used.
The victim refused to make a statement to police, so Hall was convicted on CCTV evidence.
As far as I know Clohessy wasn't charged?
The appeal is on Thursday against the length of the sentence, which seems harsh if this version of events is true.
