done you know you're carrying around with a conviction with aggravated robbery it's not hey we ran from a cab without paying it's aggravated robbery and my mum by this stage we'd run out of money and my mum had given up and she said Matthew you just have to wear it I said mum I can't but Robbie's mum was so awesome she just kept going and kept going and she found this lawyer and all he did
He just went, yeah, sweet, let's go to the Official Information Act.
So the Official Information Act, the police have to release every single thing that was said from the day, dot, right?
And what they failed to... What they failed to...
present as evidence or let the defence know was this woman had said on her life, these boys have done this to me.
They did this to me two years ago.
It's exact same guys.
I will never forget him.
And she wrote this down, right?
And we were like, well, that's impossible because Rob and I had never met.
Right?
And these guys knew, the police knew we'd never met.
They fucking knew, right?
So there was no case.
They knew they had no case, but they thought because there'd been a spate of aggravated robberies on taxi drivers, right, they thought, let's just hang it on these fucking Auckland Grammarcocks because they're on that Matthew Ridge, that young guy coming up in sport, we're going to fuck him, you know?
And they almost did.
Anyway, so that gave us the ability to –
have an appeal, right?
Because there was new evidence.
So we go down to the appeals court, which is in Wellington, and these three judges are sitting there.
