Not Guilty Verdict |

Police are investigating an act of
vandalism at Christchurch District Court. A slogan concerning the case of
suspended assistant police commissioner Clint Rickards and former officers
Brand Shipton and Bob Schollum was written as graffitti on the court building,
and red paint splashed was on it. The three men were acquitted on
Thursday of kidnapping and indecently assaulting a 16-year-old in Rotorua 20
years ago. It was then revealed that Shipton and Schollum are convicted
rapists who are serving prison sentences. Protesters gathered outside the
courthouse on Friday morning said they had nothing to do with the graffiti,
but supported the message it conveyed. |
