Lawyer makes emotional plea for bikies: "A lawyer representing Finks motorcycle gang members and associates who were found guilty of contempt has made a submission to the presiding judge in Perth to consider the men's families before sentencing them to prison.
Senior Fink Stephen Wallace, Tristan Allbeury, Stephen Silvestro, Troy Smith and Clovis Chikonga were summonsed to answer questions about a vicious brawl at the Perth Motorplex with rival gang the Coffin Cheaters on October 3 last year which left Silvestro and Smith with injuries.
All the men refused to speak to the Corruption and Crime Commission (CCC) and were charged with allegations of contempt ranging from refusing to be sworn in to give evidence, to insulting head of the CCC Len Roberts-Smith.
The men appeared before Chief Justice Wayne Martin on December 13, except for Silvestro who was in hospital and Chikonga who was later arrested.
Chief Justice Martin found the men guilty but said they should be given the opportunity to reconsider their position and give evidence to the CCC, which they all refused."
