Shock does NOT cause abusiveness

An Australian man filmed and mocked four police officers as they lay dying, a court has heard according to local media. 

Richard Pusey, 41, faces charges of reckless conduct and obstructing justice. He was pulled over for speeding on a highway last month. A short while later, a truck veered into the lane and ploughed into the officers.

Mr Pusey was left uninjured. Police say he filmed the scene before fleeing.

On Monday, his [desperate and deceptive] lawyer, Vincent Peters, said his client may have been in shock following the accident, reported the Australian Associated Press.

[He might well have been in shock, but shock tends to manifest as emotional freezing and physical immobilization, not as mocking, filming, and then fleeing. I would not grant bail because Pusey might be so shocked by events that he will flee the city, state, or country.]
