Blossom lady

He was found guilty by the courts system. It does not matter how or when charge was laid. I take it from the above comment you give mrs C a little touch up now and again to keep her in line!

And you wonder why "Inca" occurred!!!

And your point is?

Matt was a bit unlucky! Had the wrong judge. Needed Raoul Neave

Looks like we are both wrong then! although there is more chance of you being a rat to the riu than me being Wendy!!

Paul court moving to Canada and as for cran we'll look at my post above and work it out from there!!!

Both you and HTP get 5 when you add 2+2. Any truth to the story you are the anonymous person who tipped off the RIU before the McGrath raid! !

He only likes giving them to trainers with dubious records. You will need to get a couple more positive tests to be worthy of one of horses!!!

They reckon it won't affect the training of horses on track. But picking the locals won't be too happy about it!

Guess his thinking is they can't take your licence off you if you don't have one!!!

Sure is

Is that the best you can do!!!

It doesn't matter if they found bicarb or not. Nigel has admitted being a cheat. End of story. And why was Robert George there ? Let's face it he did learn from one of the best! Also wasn't his name mentioned in another positive swab that one of Nigel's neighbours got earlier this year? Also why does Robert George no longer work for that trainer?

Chertsey still has regular workouts or did until Covid19 hit. Have had the odd qualifying day there over the years. Hororata track is still there. After racing stopped They had workouts there for a number of years. It is still used for training now. Had a couple workout drives there myself back in the day!

Why would you be worried? i would be more worried if some of them weren't charged . Considering how much one of them was punting and has admitted to punting!

His time will come!

Ha ha. Why throw your licence in if you are innocent? also why would his biggest supporter say that he can no longer support him if he's innocent?

We are not talking about Purdon here. So are you saying Nigel is innocent here?

Letting his mate George attempt to treat horse on Raceday. also lets not forget his history with blue magic!

Judge neave has a long history of being soft on crims! i was not referring to Inca here!

Because he was a cheat and got caught red handed!

Why was he forced from his career?

It certainly was no surprise as to who the judge was in this case. He has a long history of being soft on crims!

Another limp wristed decision from judge Neave! A teenage girl stabbed with a broken bottle at a party, requiring 21 stitches and left with permanent scars, says the justice system failed her by discharging the personal responsible without a conviction. Isabel Bisset, then 17, was attending a party at her sister’s home in Christchurch on January 4, 2019 with up to 40 others. About 10pm a number of others who were not invited began arriving. At some point in the evening Bisset decided she wanted those who were not invited to leave, including Ena Schaapveld and her friend. Schaapveld’s friend then hit Bisset in the head with a Jim Beam bottle, and tried to hit her a second time but was held back by other party-goers. A crowd formed and as Bisset attempted to leave Schaapveld, then aged 17, grabbed the back of her hair. Bisset then turned around and grabbed Schaapveld’s hair before someone intervened between them. During the course of the altercation the bottle that Schaapveld was holding has been broken. ADVERTISEMENT Advertise with Stuff Schaapveld said she was unaware the bottle had broken when she started swinging it as she held the Bisset by her left arm. SUPPLIED Isabel Bisset feels the justice system “failed” her by not convicting Ena Schaapveld. The swinging motion caused a cut to Bisset’s right bicep, left elbow and right forearm. Schaapveld screamed and swore as Bisset tried to get away. The 17-year-old suffered a four-centimetre laceration to her right bicep and a six-centimetre laceration to her right forearm to muscle level, and required 21 stitches as well as further internal stitches. Schappveld was charged with wounding with reckless disregard. She pleaded guilty and was sentenced in the Christchurch District Court in March before Judge Raoul Neave where she was discharged without conviction and ordered to pay $700 in emotional harm, $350 in a lump sum and the rest drip fed at $5 a week. MORE FROM SAM SHERWOOD • SENIOR CRIME REPORTER sam.sherwood@stuff.co.nz Judge Neave said it was clear the attack had a significant impact on Bisset. The victim impact statement described the incident as being “horrible”, leading to a series of problems with Bisset’s arm afterwards. She lost feeling in most of it and had to have surgery to try and repair it. At the time of sentencing Bisset seemed to have spots where she could not feel anything and it was anticipated it may be up to two years before the nerve damage repairs. The scars would be with Bisset forever. In debating a discharge without conviction Judge Neave said the offending was assessed as moderate. Schaapveld’s lawyer raised concerns that her friend, who also hit Bisset and was just as culpable, seemed not to have attracted the attention of police. SUPPLIED Isabel Bisset has permanent scars on her arm from the incident. Judge Neave said there was an element of “unfairness” that there were two people who attacked Bisset, both in quite identical ways, with one luckier than the other in terms of ultimate injuries sustained. He added there were some “clearly significant” difficulties in Schaapveld’s background, which were over and above those that might be experienced by the general public. He declined to go into them in detail at sentencing. “There has been an awful lot going on in the defendant’s life which I am sure has affected her, it has affected her decision making and I am sure it has in no small measure contributed to her alcohol problems from which the defendant undoubtedly suffers.” The offending had already had a significant impact on Schaapveld’s employability. While she originally considering doing a law degree, Schaapveld was now interested in veterinary nursing. “There is clear evidence that whilst it is not cast in stone that she is likely to struggle to obtain appropriate work placement opportunities with the inevitable result that she would not be able to pursue her newly chosen career.” Judge Neave said Schaapveld had been volunteering with the City Mission and was engaged with drug and alcohol counselling. In her affidavit Schaapveld said she made a “foolish mistake”, which had “devastating consequences” for Bisset, while she felt she had ruined her chances to make something of her life. “I am so angry at myself for letting myself get in that situation and I feel so bad about what I did to Isabel and I wish that it had never started. “I feel like I have closed so many doors to my future due to the mistake I made on the night of 4 January 2019 and I don’t know what options I have left.” SUPPLIED The 17-year-old suffered a four-centimetre laceration to her right bicep, anda six-centimetre laceration to her right forearm to muscle level, and required 21 stitches plus further internal stitches. She ended her affidavit by apologising. “I am sincerely sorry for what I have done.” Neave said given the clear evidence of the potential effects on the Schaapveld’s future, the steps she had already taken, her willingness to make emotional harm reparation, a discharge without conviction was appropriate. “This is a case where the consequences of the offending are outweighed by the seriousness of the offence.” In a statement provided to Stuff Bisset said the incident had impacted her physically and mentally. “This crime has affected me big time I have major nerve damage, anxiety, panic attacks, depression and physical scars. “I’ve cried for hours over this and made very small physical tasks for months after the attack very difficult which would have me sitting there in tears wishing it would be over,” Bisset said. “I have to live with an emotional burden that goes with the injury and no matter what happens in my life I’ll always have big scars for a big reminder of a terrible life long upsetting memory about the event.” She felt the justice system had “failed” her by not convicting Schaapveld. “I think she should have gotten it on her record because I feel like that’s a mistake you can’t just brush under the carpet and forget about," she said. "My life has completely changed because of Ena and I don’t feel like she should get to resume the way she’s going. Life’s not fair, but she sure is getting it pretty fair.”

Bullshit!, i just confirmed with a friend of mine who was caught up in the raids with one of the main players and he said no Riu staff were there. Just the suits and a few local cops.
