During the trial, crown prosecutor Steven Robson said the boys were not on the couple's business premises but on public property.Even if the boys had been on the property, Mr Robson said it was no excuse for assault.
"We know people aren't meant to take the law into their own hands. Vigilante action is vigilante action. Body-worn camera footage from police was played in court, which showed Mr McDonough saying he gave both boys"a clip up the ear" and never used his baseball bat on them. The defence team said Mr McDonough threw it at the boy's car as it charged towards him, before he had to jump out of the way.Mr McDonough's defence lawyer, Tom Berkley, claimed the crash was Mr Gibson's fault and said he could have stopped earlier to avoid the collision."It may have been that they're more scared of their parents than anyone else," he said.
Travesty of Justice.
Bloody disgrace, shame they didn’t get a chance to use the bat. we should be allowed to defend our property.
