Interesting defence
Convicted gang rapist Bilal Skaf was in court again appealing to get one of his convictions quashed or the sentence to be reduced. Skaf of course was notorious after getting sentenced to 55 years jail for his lead role in a series of gang rapes in Sydney a few years ago. This sentence was later reduced on appeal to 38 years.
In fact he has become so notorious for his crimes that according to his lawyer:
”(Skaf’s name) has become synonymous with rapes committed by people of the Muslim faith in western Sydney and … with gang attacks on young women.”
“If an advertiser were trying to achieve a brand name for a gang rapist, Bilal Skaf has achieved this aim. The product for gang rapist in western Sydney is Bilal Skaf,”
The lawyer went on to say no potential juror could have escaped his notoriety, and it was impossible for him to have ever received a fair trial. Well I say, too bad Bilal, whose fault was that? The fact that you committed so many vicious crimes got you too well known, for being a rapist thug, and now you want to cry because of it. Should have thought of that before you went out and raped all those young women, dickhead.
The second part of his argument, to have his sentence reduced, was even more bizarre, and disturbing. His lawyer said:
“The Gosling Park incident appears to take place over less than one hour,”
“There was no significant harm caused to the complainant, no significant physical injury.”
This is bordering on saying she was up for it, it was just a bit of fun with the boys that got out of hand, and by the way, it didn’t last long and didn’t hurt her. I wonder if the lawyer had enough conscience to go out and vomit after court at the thought of having to use that as an argument in Skaf’s defence?
Skaf’s younger brother Mohammed, 25, is also appealing his conviction and sentence. He has lymphatic cancer and was not present at the hearing. Hopefully he suffers a lingering and painful death from the disease.

It is a pity that human beings have decided to act like animals.
What really did they say is wrong with him medically?
Well I think they should find out because a normal person does not walk the street looking for an opportunity to rape girls.
