A man who appeared in 24 Hours In Police Custody earlier this week has admitted he has been ‘heartbroken’ by the response from viewers.
Adam White was sentenced to 22 months in prison after he was found guilty of GBH.
But his case sparked outrage from viewers – as the offence came as he pursued two men on a motorbike who attempted to break in to his Bedfordshire home.
They were left in a critical condition after Adam lost control of his Mercedes car and all three crashed.
However, while electrician Adam was convicted, the would-be burglars haven’t spent any time behind bars.
Instead, Taylor Benford and Ryan Paul both received fully suspended sentences and 200 hours of community service.
But viewers were furious the CPS decided to prosecute Adam.
24 Hours In Police Custody aftermath
The 34-year-old addressed the overwhelming social media reaction he has encountered to Monday’s (November 28) show on Twitter after the programme.
He also tweeted a video clip yesterday (Tuesday November 29) evening that showed him and his wife Lindsay reflecting on the case.
It is believed they have subsequently moved away from the Eggington area near Leighton Buzzard.
Acknowledging support from viewers who felt charges should have been dropped, Adam wrote: “Thank you to everyone for your kind words and heartfelt sympathy. We have been through an awful lot.
“It was hard seeing this on TV. And with all the messages I’ve received it has been amazing and very emotional.
“I honestly cant believe the public is behind me.”
