So I have attended the court on 7/april/2017, I chose to attened to the Brisbane court because I it has a trail that fits on my free time, the trail began at 12.05pm (court number 16). I attended Mental Health court because oveuslly the issue has to do with mental illness. So the defendant his name is Rafael john he is (Australian) indigenous 19 years old boy. So the boy has done several damages such as property damage and contributing in violence towards the community. And this is his not first time being contributed to damages and violence; on 2013 he were cought be the police for getting into a fight (twise in the same year), 2014 he caused a property damage (car), 2015 he got into a fight, and this year as well he contributed in to fight (2017). The bog (Rafael) were send to doctor, so that the doctor understands his issue and submit a report to the court proving that rafeal he have problems with toxication, ADHD and several mental problems. According to doctor Khan (the doctor who submitted the report about Rafael’s condition to the court) he believed that the reason behind these damages wither its property damage or contributing to fights etc it was all because of the drinking, adhd disorder and the mental problems he has (because when rafaerl were in school he used to get bullyed a lot and therefore it caused the mental problems and led his to become more lonely and from there he began drinking and taking drugs (toxication). According to the school report (that Rafael used to attend) it shows that rafeal has an average IQ from 55 to 65 which proves that what doctor khan’s point were right (which is: rafael’s mental health is effected and that Rafael does not contributes to violence and damaging people property deliberately and therefore the court must understand his issue and what Rafael been through. And based on a doctor seggestions that the defendant must be send to psychiatrist in order to help his go through is mental problems and change to a better person rather then send Rafael to prison. The outcome of the court was is that they were willing to send Rafael to psychiatrist in order to change and develop mentally as well as work on preventing him from drinking/drugs again.
