Hell's Angels lose bid to quash convictions - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)

Hell's Angels lose bid to quash convictions - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation): "Two Hell's Angels members have lost their appeal against aggravated assault convictions they received for a brawl at the Darwin Airport Hotel.
Nicholas Frank Cassidy and James Parnwell Knight were convicted and sentenced to more than two years' jail for the brawl in December 2007.
The men appealed against their convictions and the length of their sentences.
But the Court of Criminal Appeal dismissed all grounds of the appeal, and upheld both men's sentences, angering Cassidy's brother Ray Padden.
'We'll be fighting the decision,' he said outside court.
'It's not fair. We'll be putting it to the public as well, so everyone will know what's going on.'
Knight has been released on parole and Cassidy is still serving time in jail.
Cassidy became a full member of the Hell's Angels after the assault, but argued that it would not affect his prospects for rehabilitation."
