Thread: Richard Lincoln

"he is not someone who will always deal responsibly and dispassionately with those whom he considers have wronged him"

And who IS like that, except for Jesus? I wonder is this judge taking her Lithium?

Lincoln then filed a private prosecution against the senior constable alleging several crimes including aggravated assault, kidnapping and perverting the course of justice. The District Court declined to accept the filing of the charges saying Lincoln was using the criminal law to extract revenge.

Is that not what criminal law is for? Are we now meant to use other means of exacting revenge, a.k.a. getting justice?!?

She (the Judge) was particularly concerned Lincoln had resorted to bullying and threats to challenge behaviour by individual police.

Correct. He ought to have taken the cop to the District Court instead. Fine example of circular thinking by the legal profession's finest.
