Immediately after the incident on the DVD we see the accused walking up the stairs, turning around to look back and marching off. It is a comment of mine but he does not look like a person who has just been seriously assaulted in the manner he has described. He does not look dishevelled; he does not looked [sic] injured or roughed up or even breathless. He said in evidence before you that before he got to the stairs, about a metre away from the stairs, "He could have straightened himself out". Really? Is that believable that a person in his predicament, who thinks he is being pursued by this violent mob, is going to stop and straighten his clothing at the bottom of the stairs? Then within 27 seconds of walking up the stairs he goes over to the area near the tables at the top of the entry stairs to the nightclub and takes his distinctive white jacket off and ties it around his waist. I will come back to that aspect of the matter later when I deal with consciousness of guilt. He says he was in fear for his life at this stage, that he thought the people that had attacked him might be coming after him, and yet he doesn't seek any assistance, not from the numerous security men, not from the bar staff, the DJ or even his friends, and we know there were quite a number of his friends present in the nightclub. He said to you he just wanted to get out of the club as soon as possible. So what does he do? Does he run down the stairs that are to the left of the screen in the camera angle where he is taking his jacket off? You will recall that camera angle. The stairs are to the left. Where does he go? Off to the right. He goes off to the right away from the stairs towards the top right-hand corner bar area and he sits down and talks to a girl. Mr Raed Dimachki gave evidence that after security had gone over to the other side of the nightclub from their position, that is from the group's position in photograph 34, and the lights had come on, he saw the accused sitting down to the left-hand side of the stairs chatting to a girl.. In fact, this was what was put to Mr Dimachki in cross-examination by the accused's own barrister that this is what occurred, and Mr Dimachki agreed with that proposition, chatting to a girl. Hardly consistent behaviour one would expect for a person who is in fear for his life and wants to leave the nightclub as soon as possible. The accused says he was waiting for the others to leave because he was so scared. Is that consistent with a person wanting to get out of the nightclub as soon as possible? He gives his jacket to Mr Raed Dimachki to take with him and says, "I'll meet you outside". I will come back to that also later. Mr Raed Dimachki leaves the nightclub with the jacket, we see that on the DVD. The accused leaves the nightclub without the jacket. He passes Phil, the security man, on the way out, doesn't stop to tell him what has occurred. We see in the DVD the accused with his hands on his hips walking along nonchalantly as if anything has happened. He doesn't look in fear of his life on the DVD. The accused meets up with Raed Dimachki. He tells you in his evidence that at this stage he is so shocked he couldn't talk. He meets up with Raed Dimachki in the underground carpark and jumps into his car. Raed Dimachki asks the accused, "What's going on?" The accused is so shocked he couldn't talk, says, "Nothing, let's just go. Let's just go to Chapel Street to Viper", another nightclub. I mean, really, it is an insult to your individual and collective intelligence that a person who has just had all his happen to them in one nightclub would be heading off to the next one. He gets in the car as if nothing has happened and says, "Let's go to Viper". It wasn't suggested in cross-examination by my learned friend to Mr Dimachki that he was wrong about that.
