Greg Bird charged with violent attack

[spider]

If she comes out & says there was no attack. if she comes out & says it was an accident. If he comes out & says there was no attack. If he says it was an accident.

none of those points have been stated as yet

The result is clear.

no - and this is why the domestic violence laws changed

to stop the victim protecting the attacker

her scars are enough to prove something happened and no truth followed first up after he event

There was no attack. There was an accident. no matter what the police, the media & the public want to charge him with.
He is innocent of the charges & the charges were dropped.

again, it is up to the evidence the prosecution have as to whether they proceed with the charge regardless of what either bird or katie claim occurred

they can claim ghosts did it - but the prosecution decide if they go to court

 

[millersnose]

in fact reefy the police have been able to win cases in such circumstances

and her continued refusal to provide police with a statement points to a strong police case

Thats crap. it points to a badly handled situation & people are awaiting legal advice.

There's definately no fracture, despite what the papers keep reporting.

If her father is sweet with it...then so am I.
No self respecting father would let his daughter go near a bloke who belts her.

 

[spider]

i wouldn't believe much the papers have reported

they have been given nothing

the same artcicles re-written over and over

 

[millersnose]

yeah carc

that interview and statement provided by her father confirming he is sweet with everything was a real clincher......

lol

 

[Dave Q]

The cops may well call in an expert to say that her injuries could not possibly have been caused by herself or in the circumstances she has claimed in her statement (when or if she makes one).

90% of the time the villians think they are being clever, but the cops can be very smart and they have massive resources and good legal minds.

The physical evidence alone will reveal quite a bit of what happened.

The call to the mate was especially dumb. He should be charged with stupidity on that act alone.

And no doubt the cops have or are tapping his phones or have placed wires.... waiting for an admission. They are probably tapping her too.

They do it all the time.

no - and this is why the domestic violence laws changed

I asked a person about the change of laws the other day. They said there has been no change to laws. The safety net has been in for decades to protect people in domestic violence cases. That safety net is there to protect the individual from retribution from the accused. It is not there to assist prosecution in the hunting of Greg Birds.
If the prosecution feels that the "alleged victim" is not co-operating due to threats or fear, they will continue regardless of the statements & will sometimes win.
This will not happen in this case.
it was an accident.

imo - that is a contradiction

they protect the victim by prosecuting the defendant

 

[millersnose]

ask one of your mates

as i have no idea as to the extent of her injuries

You may laugh and scoff at my ignorance spides, which I cant blame you for, but this time I'm for real.

The investigating police apply for warrants.. unbeknownst to the accused..and if succesful, they plant listening devices and tap telephones.

They can tender the tapes and a transcript as evidence during the hearing and if there is an admission from either the girl or birds, theres a mighty big problem for the accused.

Investigations are often on-going and secretive.

The cops are not as dumb as they look.

dave - i did nothing of the sort

i found your post amusing in the sense of the typo - to which i do plenty

and no, i wasn't having a go at you, i just thought it funny

They are probably tapping her too.

 

[cheese]

haha ...bit slow on the uptake there davo

 

[Dave Q]

I suppose it was a grim post that was brightened up with a spides joke, so no flies on anyone.

If it was an accident, the best thing to do is to tell the cops by way of a statement asap.

Thats what the legal advice would most likely have been if that is what occurred.

In the UK if you dont make a statement, guilt may be inferred. But as I understand it, not here (not yet anyways).

 

[carcharias]

ask one of your mates

as i have no idea as to the extent of her injuries

totally convinced he glassed her in the face and yet ''no idea'' of what is wrong with her?

 

[millersnose]

i am not 'totally convinced he glassed her in the face" carc

thats probably one of your mates

i am convinced he assaulted her in some way that has seen her hospitalised for days

 

[blacktip-reefy]

I am totally convinced there was an accident.
