R v LA
LA was charged with three counts of ‘assault occasioning actual bodily harm’, contrary to the Crimes Act 1900. Each charge of assault carries a maximum term of imprisonment of five years. Christopher Cole represented LA. His matter came before the Central Local Court and pleas of ‘not guilty’ were entered.
The presiding Magistrate accepted arguments made on behalf of LA and he was found not guilty for all three counts of assault occasioning actual bodily harm.
