Daubney J
Order me a pizza, mate
14 June 2012Daubney J shows considerable fortitude, patience and good humour in dealing with this self-represented criminal accused on the first day of a trial for attempted murder. The transcript contains some very strong language and is not for the faint of heart, but it makes for amusing reading. The best part is probably when the accused sarcastically suggests that the judge order him a pizza. Some choice excerpts follow (see here for the full transcript):
HIS HONOUR: The trial——-
DEFENDANT: Look - now listen here, mate, you don’t know what you’re fucking talking about.
HIS HONOUR: Now you listen to me——-
DEFENDANT: No, no.
HIS HONOUR: No, you listen to——-
DEFENDANT: Don’t come blooming start your shit, right, mate.
HIS HONOUR: You listen here, Mr B——-
DEFENDANT: You don’t there - you weren’t fucking there so don’t start your crap.
HIS HONOUR: Mr B——-
Citation: R v DAB (Unreported, Supreme Court of Queensland, 4 June 2012)
