First it was a bill for reading a ’thank-you’ card, then it was a procession of Legal Services Board investigations, but now it appears that Sydney law firm Keddies may have reached a new nadir: woman-bashing.
According to news reports today, David Marocchi, the recently departed head of Keddies Lawyers in Liverpool, was pulled over by police who suspected that the ‘excessively loud music’ emanating from his black Holden Commodore might infringe recently legislated anti-hoon laws. Reputedly, police officers then asked Marocchi to undergo a breath-test. This request evidently fell upon deaf ears, with Marocchi, according to police testimony, repeatedly yelling:
‘I don’t have to do anything … I’m a solicitor… prove to me I’m over [the limit]!’
Marocchi was asked to exit his car and, when he refused, police used force to remove him from the car. According to police testimony, Marocchi’s hostility intensified and he:
‘clenched his fists and yelled ‘f$$$king let me go, bitch.’
While the Firm Spy is unaware of whether the charges have been proven, Marocchi apparently then used force of his own to wrestle the arresting female officer, thrashing his arms at her and forcing her to the ground where she sustained serious, but non-life-threatening injuries. It was at this point that the accompanying male police officer was able to successfully handcuff Marocchi. As both officers tried to put Marocchi into the police car, Marocchi delivered an intense, violent kick to the female officer’s left breast which contained so much force that she fell backwards to the ground. Let this sordid tale be a lesson to everyone.
