Two sacked nurses from Bankstown Hospital have finally faced court for allegedly threatening Israeli patients in an online rant.
Chaos at the court as the face that went viral around the world today was shielded from view surrounded by those black hoodie clad men. Former nurse Sarah Abulebda, how much do you regret what happened? And what should you do now for me? Arriving for her first court appearance along with ex colleague Ahmad Nadir, what do you have to say to the court today? Charged over the last month's anti Semitic video chat from Bankstown Hospital with an Israeli influencer.
How many Israeli kara dog came to this hospital? An Israeli god. I'll beat them, I won't treat them, I'll kill them.
Both accused of using a carriage service to menace, harass or offend. Abu Lebda also with using one to threaten to kill and threatening violence to a group, with Nadir also charged with drug possession. In a brief hearing, the cases were adjourned. Nadir lawyer says he'll plead not guilty.
He'll be confecting the matter on legal and technical grounds.
Arguing the video at the center of the case should be ignored.
The video, which was captured and recorded, was done without the consent of my client without his knowledge, and we will argue for that to be excluded.
Abu Lebda departed, what argument will there be? Will it be a guilty or enveloped in the same entourage bodyguard like behavior as she was bundled into a car. Their cases were return to court in May, but we're unlikely to see a repeat of these scenes as both have been excused from having to appear in person. That video, which only lasted two and a half minutes, has sparked a legal process that will take months. The police investigation was delayed after Ahmad Nadir was hospitalized and also complicated by that influence of being based overseas. If found guilty, the two could face years behind bars.
