Ruling
Accused was arrested, taken to police station and interviewed for
one hour on videotape. The videotape was then turned off and the officers left
the room to obtain handcuffs to escort the accused to the cells. The accused
allegedly resisted and assaulted the officers. The accused was also at time
bound by a probation order to keep peace. The accused was subsequently charged
with two counts of assault police and with a breach of probation. The accused was
convicted as the Court ruled the evidence did not leave any doubt that the
accused committed the assault.
