Hey guys,
A friend of mine got charged with common assault for assaulting his room mate, room mate was physically injured though he had his fingerprints on his neck initially which he took as a pic and showed to cops. Now friend is here on 457 visa.
He is very worried about this options and impact on his work. Would appreciate if someone can advise what shall he do to get away from this without any imprisonment or impact on his work. He is OK to pay financial penalty if needed.
PS : Background of situation is that other guy who complained was harassing and provoking him for last 30 days and was moving his stuff from common area without my friend's permission.
PPS : He got bail last night through a pvt solicitor. Other question is, As he was on work visa was his company where he was working obliged to arrange legal help for him? As far as I know help never arrived from place where he worked.
