How much evidence will you need to convict this jerk!
I think a person automatically loses the case if they do something like this in court.
You would think so wouldn’t you. But this is Bermuda. Watch, he’ll lawyer-up again and somehow plead not guilty.
What kind of lawyer would have him a client after this?
one that wants to get paid.
LOL
What kind of man attacks a woman?
a fed up one.
His life is probaly crap. death would probly be better.
A coward
A coward
What were the security guards/officers doing when this happened?
ComeonBermuda – It was in Chambers, not in open Court!
I’ve been concerned about the lack of security at Supreme Court for awhile now. It’s so funny how you have to jump through hoops to get into Magistrate’s Court, but can get into the high court with relative ease.
I’m speculating if this was a matrimonial case being held in divorce court. Often the wife doesn’t show up, but angry, hyped up men often do. Could have been rage vented at the wrong person.
Hold the speculation if you will…really…
WHAT DO YOU THINK….THIS IS BERMUDA!!! HOW **PROFESSIONAL** do you really think the Islands police are??? They completely F….Upe’d the murder of a Canadian girl a few yrs back!!!!
I tell you what BDA…. If you do NOT prosecute the obviuous criminal act…. then your **REPUTATION** as an idealistic SAFE haven for young woman -is going to STAY in-the-toilet!!!
I will post this ALL over the Internet **WORLDWIDE** with my Russian friends!!! NOW DO YOU GET IT???
Lock him up and that’s it…Smh.
Take him outside and beat the hell out of him. Has no respect for anyone. All he understands is a good beating.
I`ll do it no problem. Pick on someone your own size and sex.
Coward
What a dreadful man !
Hmmm…..Lock him up and throw away the keys!
such horrible news we have to hear today. I feel for this young woman. I pray she wil be just fine. they need to deal with him. that’s a cowardly act
What would it take for a person whether man or woman to be so frustrated that they assault someone. I was told growing up “what goes around, comes around” sooner or later.
you are correct Paget, what would it take for a person man or woman to get so frustrated that they asault someone? some of you people on here are so self righteouse. I know the circumstances in this case, not condoning his actions but believe me some of you would have probably done worst for less. Ask the right questions you will get the right answers.
Good grief…violence is not the answer.
Ya, he’s done on all counts.
Recently someone assaulted a female lawyer without warning and got two years in prison. Let’s see what happens in this case.
One would hope the Judge is Female !
