He's the one who made the

first statement against me.

Cops were gonna charge me

with attempted murder...

because of a statement made by

Jimmy, my-lips-are-sealed Loughnan.

The prick even filed a victims

of crime compo claim against me.

But he's the one who's

been charged Mark.

You can't stand up in court against him.

Who do you think I am

blue? The Red Cross?

I'm not running some public charity here.

Mark, you know i've always

had a lot of time for you but...

Jimmy's the one who's been charged.

I think the main thing,

you know Mark...

Is that Jim doesn't get

more jail out of this.

"Jimmy doesn't get any

more jail out of this"

Well he'd better get himself a

real f***ing lawyer then hadn't he?.

The matter of the police

versus James Richard Loughnan.

Mrs Newman is appearing

for the prosecution.

The defendant is not represented.

Mr Read, have you been searched prior to

your appearance in this courtroom today?

Yeah, by all and sundry.

Everyone's had a go at it.

And why do you think that is Mr Read?

Well they search everyone,

especially you Mr Loughnan.

I put it to you that the reason

you were searched so thoroughly...

is because you have a history of

violent behaviour in courtrooms.

Are you not currently serving

of 14 and a half years...

for the attempted

abduction of a judge?

That's 16 and a half years Jimmy.

I'm told you used a shotgun in this

attempted abduction, is that so?

Yeah, I had it right

here under my coat.

- There ain't nothing don't there now.

- I wish there was.

I bet you do. Who would you

like to use it on? This judge?

No, i'd use it on you at the moment.

Yeah, I bet you would.

You hold human life very cheaply?

Some human life yeah.

You have a lot of hostility

towards me don't you?

No, I perish the thought. I even lent

you that suit you're wearing today.

You lent him that suit?

Yeah, I realise it's not a

fashion competition your honour,

but if he'd have worn

what he was gonna wear,

you'd have given him

I am a friend of yours am I not?

It's been alleged that you are.

And you are in fact serving

a sentence of 17 years...

because you tried to free

me from jail, is that so?

Yes.

And yet you've told the court that I

attacked you on the morning of August 20?

- Is that right?

- Yes.

Why would I attack you Mr Read?

Who knows how your mind works Jim.

So all the people we've

heard in court today,

some of them you consider

to be your friends,

they're all telling lies?

Just a group of people banding

together to find a common enemy.

- Even your friends?

- Oh yeah.

Armed police surrounded
