My wife suffers from mental illness.
My wife went to the police and accused me of assulting her on several occassions.
I was arrested and interviewed. I explained that absolutely nothing had happenned and said my wife had rung me earlier today about an accident she had had. I was charged shortly after the interview. Interestingly she tried to have the charges dropped next day but the police refused.
In court the judge prevented various aspects of the case from being explored including the nature of the injury and her mental health.
I was convicted of common assault.
I subsequently took it to a second lawyer for an opinion - their advice was the judge had ignored the evidence.
I took it to district court and the decision was overturned.
I complained to the police about their lack of investigation and the feeback I received is that they stood by their decision
I have recently gone back to the police pointing out the various inconsistencies betwwn what my wife said in her statement to police versus the version of events in court, pointing out she made a false statement to police and also lied in court. Police resonse is that she has no case to answer as I was able to have the conviction overturned.
She continues to harrass and threaten to go to the police. I have tried to take and AVO out against her but the magistrate who heard my court case has rejected it and sent it to mediation.
All I want is justice but I don't seem to be able to get that.
