 A student involved in last year's      
 Broadwater Farm riots in Tottenham has 
 been jailed for five years for affray. 
                                        
 The judge at the Old Bailey said hj    
 would have received a greatly reduced  
 sentence if hj had confessed in the    
 light of "overwhelming" evidence.      
                                        
 Clifton Donaldson, of Stapleford,      
 Broadwater Farm estate, told the court 
 that although hj threw rocks at police,
 hj was acting in self defence.         
                                        
 Photographs taken by police showed     
 Donaldson masked, armed with a lump of 
 wood and holding a rock.
