Christopher ‘Badness' Binse proposes to girlfriend in court drama amid siege, robbery, theft and gun charges

CHRISTOPHER Dean Binse, aka "Badness", has starred in a dramatic day at court proposing to his girlfriend from the prison dock after a magistrate refused to hear his matter.

Binse had already been kicked out of the Melbourne Magistrates’ Court hearing three times before magistrate Michelle Ehrlich adjourned the matter until tomorrow, saying she could not control him.

 

As he was being led away by five prison guards Binse called out to his girlfriend, who was with two other women was supporting him in court, in what appeared to be another language.

“It means I love her. I just proposed … marriage,” he shouted at media inside the court.

Outside court the woman, who did not give her name, said she had accepted Binse’s proposal.

Binse is representing himself at a committal hearing after allegedly keeping police at bay in a 44-hour siege that gripped Melbourne last May.

It allegedly ended after police surrounding the house fired tear gas into the East Keilor home that forced him out.

As he stumbled outside, police fired beanbag rounds at Binse that brought him to the ground and enabled his arrest.

He is facing charges including making threats to kill, armed robbery, vehicle theft and being a prohibited person in charge of a firearm.

Among the charges was the armed robbery of an Armaguard van at Laverton in March when more than $200,000 was allegedly stolen.

Minutes after the hearing first started this morning Ms Ehrlich stood the matter down after Binse continued to shout out to the court.

He was ejected a further two times before Ms Ehrlich decided to adjourn the matter until tomorrow where Binse will be forced to appear via videolink.

During the hearing Binse accused police of “sabotage” over what he claimed to be missing evidence.
He also urged Ms Ehrlich not to “railroad” his attempt at justice.

“This is hard for me…this is your forte…I’m just trying to do the best I can,” he told her.
Binse said wanted the committal hearing to proceed for the “common good”.

“I’ve never worked with the state but I’m happy to do so now, for the community,” he said.
“I don’t want to hijack proceedings (but) this is in the public interest, believe me.

Binse attempted to give some documents to the media after saying he had been “gagged” by prison authorities, also said he wanted the court to understand his mental capacity at the time.

What a joke  the Australian legal system really is, where it cannot handle a criminal to be brought to trial.

Could a real reason be that corrupt judges are being paid off, not to proceed, or even better, to give lenient sentences.

Judges work closely with criminals in handing out 'favourable' sentences in exchange for 'drug money'.
