"The second statement includes the extra charge that has now been laid. Whether I agree with what's in those statements of facts as opposed to what I see in a video is another thing," Macedone said. "That's just the police version, the best guess of what they think happened. But what I look for is the evidence. "Look at everyone's statements, look at what people say, look at any video images that are available, and then make up your mind as to what actually happened."

"Look, I don't know why there was a move from Danny to myself. There's speculation around but I don't deal in speculation," Mr Macedone said. "It's just a matter of someone thought that I could do it. I think Danny's a very capable person. I have no problems with Danny and his ability and I think he would have done a great job, but somehow it's landed on my shoulders now. And I need to do a great job as well."

Scott was allegedly pepper-sprayed, Tasered and handcuffed after falling asleep under a tree at Moore Park after a drunken night out with friends at the Ivy nightclub. Police allege Mr Scott threw a mobile phone at a passing car in Paddington before assaulting two police officers on the Australia Day Weekend. Police were allegedly called to the scene by a security guard at the SCG. Loading Macedone said he mainly agreed with Eid entering not guilty pleas for each of the six original charges, but would be reviewing the charge against Scott of remaining on and enter Trust lands after a request to leave. Scott was originally charged with two counts of assaulting an officer in the execution of duty, ​behaving in an offensive or indecent manner and remaining on Trust lands after a request to leave. Police have now entered an additional charge of behaving in an offensive manner in or near a public place or school. The defence case is set to rely heavily on four separate body-worn cameras by the four police officers involved in the incident, with CCTV footage from the SCG failing to capture the incident in full.
