A man representing himself while accused of assaulting his former partner and splashing acid on four police officers is challenged when he says he is going to leave court because the evidence is 'too distressing'.
The self-represented defendant in a trial in the Supreme Court in Burnie left the courtroom because of CCTV evidence he said was "too distressing".
Daniel Victor Gandini, who refers to himself as "Diplomat Dan" and is called "Dan" in court, is accused of three counts of assault against his former partner and of splashing acid on four police officers. After his exit, the jury was shown a lengthy video that appeared to be recorded on security cameras at the front of the accused's home in the time before police arrived in the scene.
She said the accused would be watching them on the security cameras, and urged the operator to tell police officers to not pull into the driveway of the house where he would be able to see them.
