TAS Video prior to domestic assault

[Sproutsx3]

I have never been to court before, I don't know what you can and can't do, a court room is lawyers representing a wrong person and a right person, and lawyers don't care for truth, they care to win for their client regardless of truth.

I asked because I don't know, but the witness summons says bring your evidence.

Be nice people. Just be nice.

I am not stopping anyone else from replying...
I have simply explained to you that his solicitor is going to argue that you have entrapped your ex. The fact that he has been charged for assault suggests the police have enough evidence. Now read through my advice again and understand that is basically all i have said. That you need to be careful with the video footage because it could be used against you. Pretty simple.

Hand it over and leave it up to the Police to decide whether or not they use it.

I would use it - next time record the entire thing though. Stop/start video is always suspicious.

Thank you Bill.

For anyone else reading this thread, the court support and prosecutor have contacted me, not me them, and going through my statement have now requested all of what I have to support the timeline of events, including videos as I was always upfront about them. Telling the truth you have nothing to hide, but when the other lies you need to expose that.

Some advice you get will knock you down when your already down. People don't care. Some advice may be good when people can remove themselves as judge and jury.

For better information refer to domestic violence support groups. Sometimes it takes a bit to find a good one .

Cheers all.

HI,
I read some of the comments and I am with Sammy01, he is not attacking you but he is stating what can happen in court and what you may expect. Don't forget that the other party (and his legal rep) will not just sit down and accept everything stated in court, they will try to minimise as much as possible. This is the fact.

As for the video: (not to your situation only): the video has to show the actual act being recorded in order to be accepted, anything else may assist in determining the state the person is in but will not be sufficient to charge or prove the person is guilty of the act. The video with other evidence may assist but as Sammy01 stated and I mentioned, it can be discredited. This is in general and I'm sure others will correct me if I'm wrong. Did you take pictures after the event? like pictures of bruising? this is will be to your advantage.
Good luck.

Yes. I understand his lawyer will rip me apart and any evidence. It doesn't matter to them that this process abuses an already abused person. It doesn't matter to lawyers that they are defending a liar. They just want to win at anyone's demise. And it's wrong. It is allowing an abuser to further torment and hurt, but the world isn't about the truth, and a court is a stage.

Yes. Police took photos. Neighbour took photos 15 minutes after it happened .But he has influenced and intimidated any witnesses. He's a class act. And I'm not mindless nor blind. And judges are use to this.

I can only keep faith that the truth may win. And god help me if it doesn't.

Cheers

A guy that mocks r**e in a video, just after saying what miserable creatures woman are. Who mocks r**e?

Then other stupid things, yes it shows his state of mind, his true personality .

Then lastly he pretends to take an overarmed swing at me but defers to the coffee table to pick up his mobile. This is clearly in the video showing his overarmed swing. And you can hear him laughing as he walked out of screen, laughing because I flinched. Two minutes later he hit me for real. And is pleaing she started it. I adored the guy and didn't touch him.

So now it's all a stage show. No worry about what it has done to me. He detests woman and woman taking anything from him. He's a registered nurse in aged care who hated his job but will refuse for a woman to take it from him through admitting the truth.

I wouldn't want him near my loved ones. Especially when he denied me medical intervention because he didn't want any adult to question, so he sedated me prior with drugs he has no script for as he takes them from work. And yes, he's on charges for this separate prior incident.

It's cruel being innocent.

 

[Sproutsx3]

Yes I have mucked up by not having a continuous recording, stop and start. I'm not tech savvy but I am conscious that anything too big is harder to send anywhere. My mistake.

I never thought the videos would be used as court or police process. I videod because the prior two times he had anger flips his recollection the day after was so wrong and bizzare. I don't know whether he was deliberately gaslighting me after these prior episodes, but I do know I was tired of him portraying me and the situation wrong to mutual friends. And he took joy in telling me what he told others, but it wasn't the truth. It was a deflection in case I ever told anyone what he really did. He discredited me before I could say anything, not that I did except to my closest girlfriends who already didn't like the person he was on meeting him. That's how much his arrogance and spite to woman shows for my female friends to have an instant dislike and alarm. But he is good at being charming to distract.

I don't know whether he doesn't remember because he is a seasoned binge drinker and doesn't show signs of how drunk he is. I don't know why he is delusional after. But his mental reasons are not my problem.

I videod to show him the next day what he is like when he flips. Not knowing or expecting what happened in the end.

I would prefer to give all the evidence I have rather than have regrets afterwards. I have enough regrets disregarding my gut instincts and wanting to show this guy that I wasn't like the others, that woman can be decent. This destroyed every aspect of my life, employment, traumatising my two kids with disabilities. It went from assault to financial abuse, to public humiliation. And more.

PS. There were no witnesses prior to him punching me. It was just me and him. The witnesses he has influenced are the ones that were present immediately after.

He had his neighbour force my car keys off me even though I wasn't near my car, I was in shock and going for a walk. This neighbours actions could be seen as further assault so he has changed his story. (PS I demanded police breath test me to prove that lie as I wasn't drunk as he told all). So neighbour has changed his story so he isn't seen as assaulting me.

Other neighbour saw this neighbour forcing my keys off me. But one hour later this neighbour went to her door and influenced what she saw telling her I was drunk and he was helping me (again my breath test result will have some weight here) then telling her I have a long term mental health history which none of my medical records will support. So she is too scared to say what she saw and her statement says she saw nothing, knows nothing, heard nothing so don't call me to court .but sad for her that legal work documents have more information discrediting this statement. Yes next door was a group home, my employment .I quit my job over this assault.

All I can say is wow. How many people lie and have their own agenda? Wow.
