I wish to plead not guilty self defence to an assault charge by polive in victorian law. Can i do that with the following story explained?
An incident occurred between myself and my neighbour across the road at the neighbours property!
I was on standing the nature strip at the fence saying a friendly hello and catch up with the neighbour.
The neighbour began asking a series of questions to me blaming for him being charged by police to appear in court for growing two marijuwanna plants on his property for self treatment of cancer.
I continuously denied such accusations and told him in a stern voice to stop going on about it.
I support such treatments and agree it should be allowed I would have no issue if he grow it and i had no knowledge thot he had. I had been away 4 more months.
The neighbour got more angry and started to yell saying nasty things like “nobody likes you, all the neighbours don’t like you”. He then picked up a solid lump of clay from the ploughed field he was standing in and threw it hard at my dog hitting it in the head.
I quickly went towards the neighbour to stop any further violence towards my dog and potentially me and my property. A fight ensued where i punched the neighbour once to the head.
He seemed to on have got the message and i left his property and walked home straight away.
He continued to curse calling out that i was a “dobber”.
He had also been giving threats to have his family members from Melbourne come down to this country town and “have me bashed for dobbing”.
The neighbours statement i counted least 10 full descriptive sentences all full made up lies he has also convinced a witness to lie’s because his girlfriend has lied and said i kicked him in the stomach. Which never occurred.
The guy has lied about everything, he denied he hit my dog. The only thing he said that was true was that i punched him and we had a fight. He said he threw dust at the dog not a rock solid lump clay.
I have a witness my tenant seen the whole event but my solicitor wants me to plead guilty and so do the police.
Two charges were dropped after the police heard my REAL story and the solicitors pre-case meeting. I gave a no comment statement on first solicitor advice from a new hone call under arrest at the station.
They said, I should have just simply grabbed the neighbour to stop him but not punch. If I grabbed him I could have been in more danger, he might have a knife or anything. A punch was the natural defence thing i thought to do quickly in the situation, i had no tome to think it happened so quickly.
I didn’t use more force then was necessary to stop any further violence. My dog did nothing at all wrong and didn’t deserve be treated so harshly.
The attack at my dog was a deliberate attack at me and the neighbour knew it. He seen the clay hit my dog he was looking right at at plain as day.
What grounds can i plead not guilty and what repercussions of this if any?
Thank you. Such a big deal blown out over nothing and all his blaming and threats and violence at my dog and he’s not been charged at all.Should been him that was charged.
I just wanted to say hello and have a friendly chat like many other times before the previous 2 years.
The world’s gone crazy i tell ya!
