Two Queensland police officers face no further criminal charges after a court ruled the case couldn’t proceed fairly — not because of their conduct, but due to a critical flaw in how evidence was gathered. Senior constables Andrew Couchman and Ulrich Weiss were accused of assaulting a prisoner with tasers and capsicum spray, but a judge found the prisoner’s statement had been improperly altered, compromising the trial’s integrity. The ruling doesn’t absolve them of misconduct — just ensures justice isn’t served through a tainted process. Both officers are back at work, relieved after two years of legal stress, while the incident’s truth remains unresolved.
