Benji Marshall Assault Charge Dismissed

[joe_s_magpies]

What a moron. I Feel sorry for Benji who had to waste his time with this idiot.

 

[Marshall_magic]

If you mouth off at anyone and cop a smack for it like this gimp did, you deserve it, because you're probably a massive tool. I bet this clown will think twice before trying it again.

Soliman Naimey: The second guy had short black hair as well. He was of Middle Eastern appearance.

Operator: What kind of appearance?

**Soliman Naimey: He was Middle Eastern or Greek. Something like that**.

Can I sue the scum for this comment?

Yep. These hero's with little dick's g to prove something just give me the sh*ts. I hope Benji's mate who actually did the punching got a few good ones to the goose.

Sometime the police have to do what they did because they have no other version to go on other than the bloke ….....................................................................................................is the victims version and his witness mates. Their hands are tied and so are the prosecutors at court.

What a load if None sense . Our overzealous and diluded Police force is solely focused on getting charges and convictions . No peace keeping , no mediating . Charges and convictions alone are the scale used to measure the quality of an officer (the more the beetter). This case is a result of this culture which i have just mentioned . As soon as the officers had a version from the alleged victim and one witness they were always going to charge Benji . If Benji had given a version of events on the night the police would have used it against him in court today , Guarenteed .
I am speaking from experience unfortunatly . An aquantence of mine was invloved in a scuffle infront of a club very similar to this one . The parties engaged each other but before a clean punch could be thrown , a number of people interveiened to break it up . As a result of the mele both parties had injuries ( small cut to lip for one , and the other was poked in the eye). The guy with the cut lip was advised by HI GF ( lol ) that he should report it the police who happened to be walking by . After getting a version from the one guy and his Girlriend . The police then walked in the club and found the other guy . They asked him for a version and he said he it was no big deal and he didnt rwant to report it . The police then pressed him for version , he declined once again . The Poloice then stated that ATM they had enough info from the other guy and his GF to charge him so he needed to give version to clear his name , so he did . Next day he was charged. Nearly a year later matter wnet to court ( cops used his version against him asking'questions like why did you say "im sorry this happened ") the defence brought in 2 witnesses who backed up that it was a tit for tat . Charge of assault occaissioning dismmissed , after less then 1hr in court .

I wouldn't normally be making comment on such a post, but given that it starts with 'What a load of non sense', I feel compelled to let you know that it aint 'non-sense', that's pretty much how it is. I am more than happy to impart my knowledge an experience on this topic but it would probably bore you to tears.

The main thing is that he is free to play and has no conviction and if they don't beat the Titans this week by 50, then that is an injustice!!!!

There are many similar incidents that the police 'shonk off' weekly. I would say hundreds. If Benji was not the alleged offender, this investigation would not have gotten past the initial complaint. And that is FACT.

Benji has to now move on and never get himself in the same situation again, he is a brand name in himself and if properly managed he can make a squillion over the next few years but the money flow will stop in a second if his name gets dragged through the mud again. Even if your innocent a little mud will stick

This. There will be 100 worse fights in Sydney this weekend that will go unreported.

It's as if the dollar signs were spinning around in Solimans head the whole time he was on that phone call.

What a nuffy.

So no doubt you also remember 'Cover Your Ass'. That too is a fact.

Congrats to Benji in getting off the charges. Now to work for the rest of the season.

That transcript….seemed more that this guy was only interested in getting Benji in trouble rather than making a real report as such.

Its not fact bug i know first hand they did there job…benji gets arrested it goes to court to decide if hes found guilty and thats how the system works.The law has a blanket approach on assaults.

Happy benji got off like we knew he would

 

[Digeze]

Understand the police were doing there job but doesn't the prosecutors office have final say whether something goes to trial. Seems the case had more holes than swiss cheese so I just don't understand how it got to trial.

Anyway Benji now has that off his mind, he can cut loose for the rest of the year. :righton:

No it does not.
It has a blanket approach on domestic assaults. Not street assaults. Alot are 'written off' than persued.

The NSW Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research shows that of between January and December 2010, 39404 non domestic violence assaults were reported to police.

Of these assaults 16171 offenders were identified to police by the victim. Of that number, the police clearance rate was 57%. The clearance rate is the rate in which someone is arrested and charged.

That means police decided to write off (suspended investigations) 6954 assaults that were reported to them in which the offender was identified.

Benji should never have been charged with AOABH.
