In 17 days, Cody Harper will stand before a judge, and his life could change forever.
I believe this case is incredibly unfair. If he is sent to prison, the entire justice system will come under public scrutiny like never before.
He was attacked by three men. In my view, while clearly disorientated, he struck out at a police officer.
The police then asked the public not to share these videos. But Cody's story need to be told.
To me, Cody Harper was the victim, not the criminal.
The country will be watching on 23rd July.
Remember the name: Cody Harper.
He's the 20 years old who was attacked by 3 men and arrested who is due in court on 23 July over an allegation of assaulting a police officer.
Whilst the 3 men who attacked him simply walked away.
If found guilty, he could reportedly face around 6–12 months in prison.
The justice system has a responsibility to get this right.
