A man facing charges of robbing women of their cars while armed with a firearm refused to answer a Rotorua District Court judge when asked if he could see or hear her.
The man, whose identity cannot be revealed, appeared in court today before Judge Jane McMeeken via audio visual
link.
His charges relate to a firearms incident on Te Ngae Rd on September 1 when a taxi driver suffered a gunshot wound.
When Judge McMeeken asked the man if he could see and hear her, he refused to respond.
A prison staff member was sent into the room where the accused was sitting to check the equipment and found it to be working fine.
