Gun control V Islam

[jack404]

A MEMBER of the Chaouk crime family has been acquitted of gun and drug offences after a Melbourne judge ruled the conduct of police investigators was ''oppressive'' in threatening to charge his mother unless he confessed.
Judge Julian Leckie decided such conduct influenced Matwali Chaouk and admissions he made in a police interview were therefore inadmissable at his trial.
Chaouk alleged and police denied - as they did his allegation about the interview - that a gun was placed in his mouth.
Chaouk was arrested more than eight years ago by armed police, who raided his Brooklyn home over a shooting but he was not charged until 2009.

A year after the raid, his sword-wielding brother Mohamed was shot dead by police at the house and in 2010, family patriarch Macchour, was murdered by an unknown gunman.
In a ruling this week in the County Court, Judge Leckie relied on a case law that stated ''oppressive conduct can encompass mental and psychological pressure''.
He also expressed ''considerable disquiet'' about ''surprising'' deficiencies in the police investigation for which he felt no satisfactory explanation had been provided.
Following the ruling, prosecutor Michael Hennessy announced the Crown would not lead any evidence, which required Judge Leckie to direct entries of not guilty be recorded.
Defence barrister John Desmond then thanked him for the ''professional and even-handed'' way he last week handled an outburst by Chaouk when Mr Hennessy was questioning his mother, Fatma.
Chaouk threatened and abused Mr Hennessy and screamed from the dock not to ''bring up my f---ing brothers'' and that ''I'll rip your f---ing head off''.
The outburst followed Mr Hennessy asking Ms Chaouk, who has had cancer, about other raids on her house.
Judge Leckie accepted Chaouk's apology and one to Mr Hennessy and said it was sensible no charges would be laid.
Chaouk faced charges of cultivating a commercial quantity of marijuana and possessing an unregistered shotgun and a pen pistol.
It was revealed in pretrial evidence that since the raid, the original informant, Detective Paul Allen, had not fully investigated or taken action on the Chaouks and many other files.
Health issues have forced the suspension of an internal police investigation into him.
Chaouk said police told him that unless he said the items were his they would charge his mother - which he did, but told Judge Leckie that admission was false. Police denied this allegation.
He said in evidence he felt under duress, that he thought his mother was a ''hostage'' and police were going to charge her with ''everything''. Chaouk, who has completed a jail term for firearms offences, was remanded in custody on other matters.

those who went through the dark days of gun control know the police would often charge family members with Knowingly concerned in the with holding of illegal firearms ( as they lived in the same house and assumed to know where the gun was or that there was a gun there )

now a judge for the first time ever say thats oppresive , it was OK by the UN !!! for the rest of us , but a well know islamist who runs a major drug operation here walks yet again

Islam beats gun control even , sheeesh


and a reminder the house is in mummies name

if a illegal weapon is found and cant be id'd to owner then the person who owns the property is charged

no if's or butt's mandatory 5 years inside per offence

except when your a muslim it seems

Seems money talks and B/S walks Jack.

ER- wait

It seems, to me, that anyone with a high socioeconomic status who speaks, even lies, is regarded as being truthful and knowledgeable on any subject. While another of lower apparent class is ignored and passed over as unworthy.
Sorry, does that make me smarter?
