Corrupt NT State

by mick lambe

The Police-doctored Parliament video has gone missing. The one that conveniently focuses elsewhere whenever assaults on protestors take place.

There are a few 'different' copies about -- this was revealed in Scott's last case by the camera operator.

The tape was withheld as evidence for months while NT Police 'worked' on it.

The close-up of a hand as people are assaulted is corny stuff. And my explanation (as an expert witness on image manipulation) in Court as to how the tape was doctored, was not refuted.

Under cross-examination -- none of the politicians who viewed the TV screens of the (live) action inside Parliament, said they ever saw a close-up of a hand.

Bias and coverups

As the (NT Police doctored) videotape shows I am looking directly at Ema when Superintendent Bert Hofer kicks her. You can even hear me yell out as Ema is kicked by Hofer.
----------------------------------------------

"I witnessed it also and yelled out at Ema's assailants."

Melbourne indymedia report - day of action.

http://www.napnt.org/pages/Articles_10.htm#article3

----------------------------------------------

The Magistrate claimed that I couldn't see Ema (Corro) being kicked from my position. He stated this for the benefit of the Press during sentencing.

The background image...

...shows me (standing arms folded) looking directly at Hofer and Security guard. Ema is on the floor being kicked by Hofer.

Amended appeal

... 3. The politicization of the trial was evident. Particularly during the sentencing/press conference finale. Political bias.

a) The Magistrate and Public Prosecutor seemed bound by a need to exonerate Superintendent Bert Hofer, who I witnessed assault a defenseless female in parliament.

http://www.napnt.org/pages/Superintendent-Hofer-NT-Police.htm

b) I absolutely refute all of Magistrate Wallace's comments to the assembled press (during sentencing) about this assault.

c) I will rely on the (Police doctored) video tape and the transcript to demonstrate why.

Gary Meyerhoff has also signed these amended appeal points.

Evidence of political bias

Later in the video I am seen pointing at Hofer and regaling a politician about this cowardly thug.

The Magistrate was well aware of this evidence, introduced during the Hofer cross-examination.

http://www.napnt.org/pages/Melbourne-Indy-Chronicles.htm

The assault (kick) was also witnessed by Rebecca Morse an ABC reporter.

NT Police did not investigate Ema's assault complaint.

Magistrate Wallace tried to cover for this breach of normal investigative procedure, at the "sentencing/press conference finale".

==================

Just in... (updated above)

From Nicolette (Mon, 1 Dec 2003)

Scott White, the last of the 9 "parliament invaders" to face court charged with the "intentional disruption of the legislative assembly whilst in session" has refused to proceed with his hearing.

Scott has refused to proceed with his hearing today upon discovering the Department of Public Prosecution have "lost" vital evidence- namely the Hansrad video which depicts last years action.

Prosecution are threatening to proceed without Scott(who is pleading not guilty and is self-represented.) Supporters in court are concerned that this is yet another blatent travesty of justice in a trial which
has been surrounded by controversy.

Scott was previously extradited from Tasmania to answer charges. He may now be subject to a new arrest warrant for his refusal to continue with todays hearing.

NAP supporters should head to Darwin Magistrates Court to support Scott and the struggle for human rights for drug users.

More soon..

This is going to be a very embarrassing fiasco for the NT Labor government.

View section of NT Police tampered video - http://www.napnt.org/movies/Hofer-attack.mpeg

NOTE: The videotape was not used by the Prosecution in an assault case against Ema Corro.

Why not? Because it shows Ema being assaulted. The NT State tried to protect Superintendent Bert Hofer (their cowardly FBI-trained thug) by concocting this 'assault' charge against Ema.

The trial was a joke. Both Security guards (the only witnesses) had assault complaints laid against them by Ema prior to this invention.

Neither were charged (or even investigated) as was Ema. The tape vindicates Ema entirely. Which is why an important primary piece of evidence wasn't used by a corrupt Public Prosecution.

http://www.napnt.org/pages/Superintendent-Hofer-NT-Police.htm

The video also shows that Ema DID NOT jump from a table onto the Security guard's back. A distance of about 10 metres.

However the Court found Ema guilty on that basis.

Faithfully recorded by the NT ABC, who chose not to interview Ema.

"The court heard Birkeland-Corro jumped on Aaron Wigmore's back from a table known as the Repository of the Mace."

I'm sure the Prosecutor's misleading the court in such a manner was illegal. He knew that Ema did not jump on anyone's back from the table.

---------------------------------

NT Police State

" ...(t)heir corrupt tactics -- whereby victims of Police harassment and brutality are punished through the use of the Law, by the NT Police -- are continuing under a Labor government.

So much for our efforts in ridding the Northern Territory of the racist and corrupt NT Country Liberal Party."

http://www.napnt.org/pages/Superintendent-Hofer-NT-Police.htm

--------------------------

The Court order prohibiting the video tape's publicising, obviously doesn't apply to this NT Police-tampered version.

NT Police refused to investigate complaints and altered the Hansard video to protect State minions.

That's criminal activity.
