Gale: It was self defence

Giving evidence at the trial of dentist Phillip Gale on a charge of attempted murder at Preston Crown Court, his wife told the court that her husband was ‘not a violent man’. She said: “My husband is a professional person. We had a beautiful home. I blame myself.” Mark Stewart, defending, said Gale had knifed Andrew Smith in self defence after a scuffle spilled into the hallway.
