I'm free!: Suspended sentence for Southend United's Ryan Hall!
Shrimpers in form winger Ryan Hall will not miss the rest of the season in a major boost to the club's play-off hopes as the court saw fit to reduce his original sentence to 20 weeks suspended! No more porridge at Her Majesty's expense for Ryan Hall!In a major boost to Southend United's play-off hopes the judge at Basildon Crown Court has approved the influential Ryan Hall's application for a reduced sentence on the charge of affray which he pleaded guilty to last week and originally had to spend 10 weeks inside.And though the 20-weeks remains, half of that will no longer be a custodial one and it will be completly suspended over that period of time.This will allow the talented winger to play against Steve Tilson's Lincoln City on Saturday, and to see out the rest of the season as long as he doesn't do anything remotely naughty while away from serving at Her Majesty's Pleasure. While of course not condoning what Ryan did, he was under extreme provication and common sense has been seen to have prevailed.This is great news for Ryan Hall, his family, the club, and their long suffering supporters.The Hall Saga (from the start!)Before the original verdict:www.southendunited-mad.co.uk/news/tmnw/southend_united_await_decision_day_as_ryan_hall_returns_to_court_652833/index.shtmlAfter the original verdict:www.southendunited-mad.co.uk/news/tmnw/southend_uniteds_ryan_hall_receives_20week_custodial_sentence_652855/index.shtmlTough week ahead:www.southendunited-mad.co.uk/news/tmnw/sturrock_faces_shrimpers_week_of_destiny_we_have_to_realise_we_havent_achieved_anything_yet_653072/index.shtmlGet's Luggy's blessing:www.southendunited-mad.co.uk/news/tmnw/sturrock_people_deserve_a_second_chance_in_life_ryan_hall_will_play_for_this_football_club_again_653420/index.shtmlGet's bail:www.southendunited-mad.co.uk/news/tmnw/southend_uniteds_ryan_hall_gets_bail_can_play_at_morecambe_653506/index.shtmlLuggy's gamble:www.southendunited-mad.co.uk/news/tmnw/sturrock_gambles_on_hall_the_lad_has_just_been_through_the_most_traumatic_few_days_of_his_life_655105/index.shtmlBrilliant against Gillingham:www.southendunited-mad.co.uk/news/tmnw/its_halls_night_at_the_hall_as_shrimpers_and_gills_share_the_points_655531/index.shtmlCatch those brilliant strikes:www.southendunited-mad.co.uk/news/tmnw/oh_what_a_night_ryan_halls_brilliant_brace_barkers_brilliant_clearance__a_rubbish_linesman_655821/index.shtmlLuggy gets a text:www.southendunited-mad.co.uk/news/tmnw/all_hail_hall_fingers_crossed_that_everything_goes_well_for_him_thursday_655551/index.shtmlShrimpers await the revisied verdict:www.southendunited-mad.co.uk/news/tmnw/shrimpers_await_hall_verdict_i_think_most_people_thought_the_original_verdict_was_quite_harsh_655804/index.shtml
