A Police officer who was found guilty of assaulting an Indigenous man in custody has been acquitted of all charges after a District Court Appeal.
Last year, NSW Wales Police Officer Iain James Murray was found guilty of two counts of common assault. He had a criminal conviction recorded against his name and was fined $3500.
Video footage from Goulburn Police Station and police body cameras told a damning story, showing the officer shoving the young man into a wall as he exited the police van, before placing him into a headlock and throwing him from side to side.
