One of my sons was violently attacked last yr on his way home from school,, he was beaten and set alight with deodorant and a lighter, It has taken over 15mths to reach court and the 4 witness’es seem to have been intimidated by iether the defendant or the defendants solicitor, and claim not to recall any thing they’d seen,, the defendant is considerably larger than my son and stood opposite my husband (outside the courts) eye balling him and looking like he wanted to fight, he also crept up behind my sons while we waited to be called in to the court room,,,,, after half a day of this sickening crap,where the witness’es coincidently forgot every thing, we stormed out of the court, (no verdict as yet), today the arresting officer called me to say the defendant was found guilty with out resonable doubt Of "COMMON ASSULT", GOOD FOR US,, ,
The problem i have now is this,,,,,,,,,,,, this seemingly irrate young man lives very close to us, and now has had a good look at my sons faces,,, im told the worst he’ll get is community service,, and there is no protection for my son(s) unless this boy decides to do anything again,,, HOW do i stop my husband from going to this boys house to break something (god knows what)?
thank you ,,,,,,,, YOU MESSAGES ARE SWEET AND KIND, AND THEY MEAN ALOT TO A FRUSTRATED FAMILY,,,,, THIS IS A SERIOUS MATTER AND I APPRECIATE LEGITIMATE HEART FELT RESPONSES

    I’m the attorney for defense and my client has been charged with attempted school bombing. The person who accused her is a school bully, which is proven with several witnesses, and possibly might have set another person up for a crime.

    However, the client told the bully that she would "get him back" and has art depicting the bully in flames. Then again, she is an artist and was told to express herself with art.

    What should my opening statement cover in regards to my witnesses and evidence?

    My witnesses are a psychologist who vouches for the bullying, a scientitist who says the bomb was poorly constructed, and a friend who says the defendent would never do such a thing and hints at the bully’s history of setting up people.

    The evidence is the chemicals found at my client’s house (commonly used chemicals) and the fact that no fingerprints were found on the bomb.
    The case is between her and the general public. One of the prosecution’s witnesses is a boy who harrassed her and some evidence points to the fact that he might have set her up.

    Am I allowed to, in the opening statement, talk about how the prosecution’s witness may have set her up, or should I just focus on defending my client?

      My ex’s solicitor has just mailed me parenting orders, but i don’t agree with them. he wants 8 hours every sunday, building up to 50/50 custody.There was a history of violence and abuse in our relationship, but i left before our daughter (10mnths) was born. he was alcoholic and addicted to marijuana and pornography, and some things he told me indicated tendencies to pedophilia. i never reported the abuse to the police during our relationship (apparently this is very common), and the only witness was a relative of his, who would never betray him. he was coming to my house to visit baby for first 4mnths, and being supervised by my parents, but he was intimidating and manipulative and used the police to intimidate me (welfare checks for no reason), so on police advice, i stopped contact. i was able to get supervised contact once a fortnight, and he agreed to it, he has been seeing her there since then. we tried mediation, (he applied at relationships australia) but were told it is inappropriate considering abuse, although i did convince them to try, and did it over phone from home whilst he was at mediation centre. The mediators decided it wasn’t working and gave us certificates. i applied for an AVO for stalking behaviour 4 mnths ago, but was denied (was told yesterday that i was denied incorrectly, i should have got it, but it has been too long now since last incident so i can’t get one). i have been told that as i have no hard evidence of abuse, and no unbiased witnesses (my parents witnessed intimidation and he admitted some things he had done to them), he will get everything he is asking for. i have seen two solicitors now, and they both say the same. i’m desperate, deeply depressed, unable to function, i rarely leave the house… any advice – please help, i don’t know what to do and i am so scared. i can’t hand my daughter over to him, but i can’t prove anything, so what can i do? i feel so hopeless! it’s my job to protect her, not put her in danger
      ok, so i know it’s not all ‘sunshine and roses’, but i’m desperate. i need anyone with similar experiences of their own to let me know what they did?
      The relative would NEVER say a word against him, and in fact would lie if he asked.
      and dizzyliz, he was not a substance abuser when i met him, nor was he violent or abusive to me. it happened gradually through our relationship. the pregnancy was not planned, i left him when i was 6 mnths pregnant as i could not bring a child into that environment, nor could i put myself at risk any longer as he had become a very heavy drinker and very abusive whilst drunk. it is not easy to leave a realationship like this, you stay as you think you can change him. he mad me feel dependant, worthless, depressed and physically and psychologically harmed me, to the point where i was a total mess and unable to function. i had planned my life with this man. it is increadibly hard to leave that and ‘do it alone’ when you are in such a fragile state of mind.
      i will have him drug tested, and see how that goes. i’ve been told that as he has not been admitted to a clinic or had any arrests for drunk and disorderly or anything that could prove he has a substance abuse problem, i don’t really have anything to admit in court….. god, i wish i’d called the police.
      oh, there have been reports to docs (manditory reporting) about things i have said re: the abuse during relationship, but apparently that’s really just ‘hearsay’, not hard evidence….

      I have a witness which provided the plate number and description of the car.I have reported the incident to police. Police said they have traced the owner of the offending car, but its been a week and seems no progress. Will the police prosecute the owner of the car for me or should I engaged a solicitor. I don’t have insurance. Damage is probably around $ 2000.
