Roma supporter found not guilty of inflicting GBH on Liverpool fan Sean Cox

An Italian man was jailed for three years for violent disorder but was cleared of inflicting grievous bodily harm

Roma supporter Filippo Lombardi has been found not guilty of inflicting grievous bodily harm on Liverpool fan Sean Cox prior to last season's Champions League semi-final tie at Anfield.

Lombardi, 21, was cleared by a jury at Preston Crown Court six months after being charged over an incident that left 53-year-old Cox in a critical condition.

During the trial, the jury was told by Cox's brother, that the Reds fan can no longer sit up or talk following the attack.
