The “Lost Utilitarian Benefit” of a Rejected Guilty Plea Should Be Reflected in Sentence
About NSW Courts
Very sad. And very true. I have seen and experienced this kind of thing many many times throughout my life. Whats as also common is false...completely made up complaints about someones dog being dangerous just to attack or discriminate or intimidate someone. And no evidence is provided to back the accusation. However council will still say they can sieze the dog for assessment even though that in itself will cause distress to the dog possibly cause the dog to go in to flight or fight mode or become over protective. Then possibly making the lie appear true. Also as others have mentioned. The officers rarely have experience or training compatable with addressing these situations efficiently. Nor do they know how to deal with even a well trained dog let alone one with issues.
I am currently going through court nsw for a Personal Violence Order on a neighbour. Yesterday he and his Lawyer put in an Affidavit which is totally false and without evidence. Very derogatory and untrue with personal attacks which are false. There will be mediation shortly and another adjourned court case on 24th April (this month). What can I do to avoid and further lies in court. Regards Susan
You can come back from it and I did…
My wife told the magistrate she did not agree with the AVO I said the same thing and the AVO got dropped…
The magistrate told the police at court that she was not willing to uphold an AVO just because the police wanted to and both parties (me and my wife) don’t want it.
Me and my wife are going great now and have just had another baby…
Life is good and I have learnt a lesson…
But the police were trying to screw me over and wanted to have the AVO extended for 12 months with numerous conditions without knowing much about me and just judging me from the situation at the time..
I’ll never ever forget the look on the officers face who was there at court on behalf of the police when he looked at me when the magistrate said she is dropping the AVO.
It was so easy to tell that he was far from impressed but could do nothing…
He looked at me in a way that looked like he was thinking I was unbelievably lucky..
It gave me loads of satisfaction as it was stressful enough with what we had to go through following the AVO so to see it crumble in front of his eyes was great!
The duty lawyer told me when I got there in the morning that the police are strongly recommending an extension of the AVO…
Which made me panic even more I thought I was doomed but no! Justice prevailed!
The police officer who put the AVO on me did not even talk to me once he sighted me for about 10 seconds and that was it he left and the cops told me that night of the incident that it was him who put the AVO on me…
Having it extended for 12 months would have been hell there are so many things you have to do following an AVO and like I was saying if you’re male then you’re screwed no matter what!
And if my wife had of been on the side of the police well that would mean supervised time with my boys still to today and a whole load of other problems for me..
Each case is different and the magistrate gave me a chance like I deserved..
I had multiple documents explaining things about me and my life…
I must say she did warn me that if anything like it happens again it was not going to be good for me which is fair enough.
It was the catalyst for me changing a lot of things in my life so I’m in a way glad it happened..
But was shocked to see how unfair they treat males some of the people I saw in court and talked to who had an AVO put on them by the police or there wife had there life turned upside down and inside out basically forever!
A lot of them deserved it but some others it blew my mind on how they were manipulated…
Anyway peace out take it easy.
What is going on with this system, of community trust and justice
I did something wrong and was told it was all on video, I did say I done something
No body asked me what I did , but now
6mth later I get to see the video and the video time line is of by 1.3hrs
And I'm nowhere to be seen, and there are assortment of things missing in that video time line
I was somewhere else on video with another person,
Where is the video of the time line that fits the actual event,
