Police are not yet
commenting on the future of an officer found guilty of assaulting a student. An Auckland jury has
convicted North Shore constable Richard Hall of repeatedly punching Hayden
Seath in the back of a patrol car four-and-a-half years ago. Constable Hall was
cleared of assaulting the man in the car park of an Albany pub earlier on the
same night. Another officer,
Geoffrey Wharton, was cleared of four charges of assaulting the student. However the jury was
hung on a fifth charge against Wharton. North Shore-Waitakere
police bosses say they cannot make any comment at this stage, as the matter
is still before the courts. |
