Message: [QUOTE="Jason Simmons, post: 3323045, member: 8275"] FTV has outstanding CCTV coverage, thanks to the Brisbane City Council safety camera network, so in all likelihood this matter was captured on camera, with good quality footage for a change. The charge of AOBH requires by definition some bodily injury that interferes with health and comfort, so real injury, not just ‘pain’, ie: cuts, bruises, contusions, broken things etc. So if he has been charged with 3x AOBH, by definition it is being alleged he caused actual bodily injury to 3 separate persons. There was a comment I saw from one of the journos, might have been Garry, that this allegedly occurred in a ‘DV’ setting. A circumstance of aggravation (COA) to a charge of common assault, AOBH or wilful damage is that it is to be alleged to be a ‘DV’ offence as well, ie: not just an assault between two randoms, it was an assault, AOBH or a wilful damage offence done where there was a domestic violence aspect to the matter. The assault etc doesn’t have to be against a person who is an aggrieved in a DVO per se, but they have to be present, or some other applicable scenario, such as the assault of a relative of an aggrieved who is not a named person in the DVO. So it will be interesting to see if that is alleged when Milford goes to court. The effect of the COA is to make the offence more serious than a simpliciter offence, with a consequential more significant penalty if found guilty. If it is the case and Milford found guilty, he is in a lot of trouble… Now I of course have no idea whether the charges are ‘DV offence’ or not, but if they are, Garry just told us that Milford is a named respondent in a DVO. Against who I don’t know, but he / she must have been present or he allegedly assaulted someone / some people related to someone who is… So there is a bit to play out yet, but either way, Milf had better hope he hasn’t frittered away too much on the ‘brickies laptop’. He has some serious trouble ahead. [/QUOTE]
