R v CK
CK was charged with a number of moderately serious offences including ‘common assault’, ‘assault police officer in execution of duty and occasion actual bodily harm’, and ‘resist an officer’ contrary to the Crimes Act 1900.
Christopher Cole represented CK and argued that the charges should be withdrawn. The matter was heard at Picton Local Court and arguments were successful. All charges were withdrawn and CK was encouraged to pursue a civil claim against the Police Officer’s involved, if he so wished.
