Gave my evidence as first in and discharged. adorned for lunch so I have now gone home to avoid contact with other witnesses. would be interesting to know how the accused and his wife who was sat in court can/will avoid contact with their son who they want as a defence witness.
He is defending himself. the same laboured point which he is trying to make questioning my statement.
He came at me with a chair and swung it. I do not know if I was hit on the head with the chair or his fist. I closed my eyes thinking this is going to hurt. He is arguing he didn't use the chair as a weapon and had thrown it prior to hitting me. He has not realised use of a weapon in an assault does not have to be to cause physical injury.
He is also questioning why my statement did not mention the minor injuries that are shown in the photos bruising to my torso/inner thighs etc. and intimated until stopped by the court that I had arranged them for a compensation claim. Fact my statement was made in A&E prior to being treated. I was concentrating on the fact my nose was wrapped around my face and could't open my eyes. Would you mention at that time about the kicks that happened after you were on the ground?
Still should hear latter what he gets.
