Defence Attorney Defending Himself
posted (September 1, 2017)
And while Banner was the defense attorney in that case, he was defending himself last weekend at a double Head Cabbage cricket field. Banner told police that on Saturday, Calbert Reynolds was drinking in the village with another man - and both of them ambushed him. Banner says Reynolds was armed with a Belikin bottle and a cricket bat and threatened to burst his face and kill him. Banner says - despite being restrained by villagers - Reynolds attacked him with the pint.

Today, Reynolds appeared in court charged for aggravated assault with a Belikin bottle, and threatening words.

Reynolds - who is a former prison guard - told Acting Chief Magistrate, Sharon Fraser that it was Banner who disrespected him by calling him a very well-known insulting word. He pleaded not guilty to both charges. Reynolds was offered bail of $600 which he was able to meet by 4:30 this evening.
