Supreme Court of New South Wales judge Lucy McCallum has thrown out a civil claim for compensation, lodged by Sonni Michel Angelo N’Ge-Sala. He had been attacked by a female offender in late 2008, and when police attended the scene the officers shot the woman. She was unsuccessful with her compensation action, but N’Ge-Sala pursued a separate claim and represented himself. However he made incoherent statements in court and at one stage started to sing so that McCallum was unable to listen to recorded evidence
