Bradford man cleared of impersonating healthcare professional

A TT marshal, who was accused of impersonating a healthcare professional during this year's races, says he did nothing wrong following his acquittal.

53-year-old James Steven England, who lives in Bradford but has previously been a resident of the Island, was cleared of any wrongdoing after Deputy High Bailiff Jayne Hughes found there was no case to answer during a trial at Douglas Courthouse this week.

Mr England, who has qualifications as an emergency medical technician, wore a green medical outfit while attending the crash between Steve Mercer and a course car during practice week.

Mrs Hughes raised concerns about his behaviour, but told the court there was no suggestion he'd done anything inappropriate.

She also insisted her decision to throw out the case wasn't a criticism of the police or prosecution.

Speaking to BBC Isle of Man, Mr England accepts the Deputy High Bailiff's comments:
