New judgments
Fri Oct 06 2023Askarou v The King [2023] NSWCCA 246 - criminal law, whether it was improper for the Crown to invite the jury to “jettison” the evidence of a witness
R v Bentley; R v Cockburn; R v Buddle; R v Dawes; R v Pfitzner [2022] NSWDC 755 - "[124] The only advice I can give you, and I am an old man who has been doing this job a long time, is that you keep in touch with your Community Corrections officer. Hopefully, you can trust them enough to call them if you are tempted to commit other offences or if things are going bad. If you run away from your responsibilities, as you have done in the past, while it may be understandable, the courts will have little choice, if you commit further offences, but to return you to gaol. I do not underestimate how hard that will be."
