Darrell John Wright, 38, faces charges of recklessly discharging a firearm, which relate back to shootings at the Rebels clubhouse and a house on Wheelers Lane which was occupied by the Rebels’ president Brett Dunstan.

In Dubbo District Court yesterday, defence barrister Eric Wilson was involved in a sometimes fiery cross-examination of witness Raymond Grant.

Mr Grant, who was allegedly assaulted at the clubhouse on the evening in question, faced separate charges in relation to the matter which were dealt with previously in Dubbo Local Court.

He conceded that he had performed a shooting on his Mogriguy property two months after the shootings but denied that on the night of November 13, 2004, he had been involved in the events at the clubhouse and Wheelers Lane.

“I shot the house to try and put the heat on him (Wright),” he said.

“He had destroyed my family and I wanted him gone from my house.”

When asked by Mr Wilson if his pride had been hurt after being assaulted at the clubhouse, Mr Grant responded sternly.

“I’ve had a brother kicked to death, it’s not nice,” he said after confirming he had been punched and kicked at the clubhouse.

“My pride wasn’t hurt and what happened doesn’t warrant grabbing a gun and going off your head. I was too sore to be angry.”

According to Mr Grant, the first he knew of the shootings was the following morning when he woke up.

“He (Darrell) admitted it to me, he admitted it to about 20 people,” he said.

That statement drew another back-and-forth battle between the defence barrister and the witness.

“I suggest to you that Darrell Wright never told you he did the shootings,” Mr Wilson said.

“I suggest to you he did,” was Mr Grant’s response.

After the cross-examination finished, the 12-member jury panel also had the chance to watch an interview Mr Wright gave to police on January 24, 2005, just days after the
