So why are the friends not being called as witnesses?

Innocent until proven guilty and all that, but, surely, it doesn't look good if a 'leader' of an organisation is involved in any altercation or 'drunken argument'? But, I guess, given his history, it was a known issue.

Can't think of any redeeming features. Was it his brother, I always thought it was a cousin?

Both his brother and his cousin are murdering scumbags. I don’t understand how people can live with the guilt that this kind of behaviour should lead to, assuming they aren’t clinically psychopaths? I wouldn’t be able to live with myself

I think the trouble with Barton is - that trouble finds him and quite often so. Whether he always puts himself in that situation is another matter.
Barton is also essentially an intelligent thug in a suit. It could be the geographic stigma attached and predominantly working class background, that sways some people on their opinion of him. Before he even does anything.
I don't fully disagree with some peoples opinion on him though, more that I feel some would jump straight in due to his previous. What we don't actually know yet is all the detail. Obviously there was a domestic in which his wife obtained a head injury. How exactly we don't know. LAS didn't attend the scene. He could've thrown something (a hand, a fist, a plant pot, a most improved player trophy), he could've pushed her backwards and she hit her head on/knocked into something. She could've been antagonising him all night which led to an argument. Maybe they were both pissed off that their dealer hadn't delivered the goods as promised. Maybe they'd both had a bit too much powder and were both feeling very confident. It's also possible that he did indeed give her a right royal walloping with no provocation at all.
I'm not defending Barton btw, I don't know him personally but never really liked his footballing style, however he did sometimes tend to talk much more sense. This isn't some thicko but then again - wife abusers don't tend to be.

Well, a witness said he grabbed her by the throat, pushed her out into the garden and kicked her in the head.
Somebody needs to give him a good kicking.

Nah, might knock some sense into him.
