Last June, Ms. Adelaide Q came to an end when she ate fish and bitten people. The latest news came, the court has just acquitted Ms. Q!
Judge Oliver Koehn stated that the allegations of the attack on Ms. Q did not reveal any evidence beyond reasonable doubt. He said that Ms. Q had admitted to biting the restaurant waiter, but the police ' s public prosecution failed to overturn her because of her self-defense.
Judge Koehn also said the police could not prove that it was illegal for Ms. Q to pay only half of the fish fee. Ms. Q did not speak after she appeared in court.
After Ms. Q ordered an entire fish at a restaurant in Gouger Street for $48 on June 20, 2017, Ms. Q complained to the waitress that she had only half a fish.
Ms. Q then called the 000 police but was told it was not an emergency. Ms. Q paid only $26.5 before she left, half a fish and $2.5 meters of rice.
The restaurant attendant, 19-year-old Kong, followed Ms. Q to the streets of Gouger Street because the manager told him that Ms. Q should pay all the money. Half of the fish dispute escalated into physical conflict, and Ms. Q bit 19-year-old Kong.
But during the hearing, Ms. Q said she was in self-defence because Kong had been holding her and wouldn't let her go. At the time of the incident, she repeatedly warned Kong, that she was a victim and that he had no reason to stop her because "this is Australia, not China."
Ms. Q's defense attorney asked her why she bit Kong..
Ms. Q replied, "because I let him let me go more than three times, but he didn't do it. I said it was Australia, not China. You can't do this to me, but he didn't listen."
Ms. Q also told the court that she was "deeply ashamed" to be arrested in public. "besides, I was angry because I let him let me go and said it several times, but he didn't care."
A recording of the 000 alarm calls was also brought to court.
Last month, 19-year-old Kong told the court that he had repeatedly asked Ms. Q to stop and stop. Ms. Q ignored her. "I told Ms. Q to wait for someone to stop, and they didn't talk to me, so I grabbed one of them," he said.
"when I tried to stop her (Ms. Q), she began to bite me by the arm and pinch me, so I had to grab her wallet and try to squat on the ground. She pinched me so hard that I couldn't breathe, and someone helped call the police. "
The judge's trial was only aimed at the biting incident of Ms. Q, but whether Ms. Q had eaten a hegemonic meal or not, if so, could not be dealt with, because the meal was in her stomach, and it must be difficult to obtain evidence every other year.
It can be seen that Australian law in the protection of business interests still need to be improved.
On April 9, 2017, a man ordered a seafood meal at a famous local restaurant on Gold Coast.
Restaurant staff have been chasing to the beach, who knows the man jumped into the sea, more and more swimming, refused to return to the shore. The lifeguard and the police finally sent out the water motorboat to arrest him.
On June 5, 2017, a man in Western Australia told the waiter that he had forgotten his wallet and came back the next day to pay for it. As a result, the man never showed up as promised.
Restaurant posted photos of the man on the Internet to remind businesses, the result found that the man is a recidivism, has been in more than 20 restaurants in this way to escape the list!
The restaurant hoped that the police would come forward to solve the matter, but the police were unable to do anything, saying that the man's agreement to pay the next day was a contract with the restaurant and was not a crime of escape.
In January 2018, a group of Melbourne Teenagers, after dinner, owed hundreds of Australian dollars and left, the restaurant had to ask them to come back on social media to pay the bill, with the support of many netizens, has been forwarded more than 200 times. The next day the boss received an envelope with a meal bill saying, "excuse me, I forgot to pay." Whether deliberately or inadvertently escape the list, can be seen restaurant owners to eat the overlord meal helplessness.
They are also reminded not to make verbal commitments to customers in this case, and not to engage in physical conflict with them in order to avoid further damage.
Review of the case:
On March 27, Ms. Q was tried in Adelaide District Court on charges of flight and beatings, while injured restaurant staff testified on the same day. During the trial, Ms. Q denied all charges, claiming that she had been cheated by a restaurant. Ms. Q said she had bitten in self-defence. Because the latter tried to steal her handbag during the melee.
In court, the police released a video of the incident, in which the police asked Ms. Q, "did you bite him?" She admitted generously, "Yes, I did."
"do you know how serious the consequences are, just for a particular fish, (for a f**king fish?" the police heard it and said: "do you know how serious it is to do so?"
On April 18, the court reopened the trial of Ms. Q and more details were revealed. It turns out that before she bites, Ms. Q calls the police in person and reports that the restaurant only gives her half a fish. But before the police arrived, she had a physical clash with the waiter.
