Stolen goods in custody
DB was found with an apple I-Pod in his possession. He told police that his friend gave the I-pod to him so he could download some songs. He was charged with goods in custody pursuant to s 527c of the Crimes Act.
Admissions excluded due to young age
The defence took objection to certain admissions made by the young person as those admissions were made in the absence of a support person. Those admissions were excluded. It was argued that at the close of the prosecution case, there was no evidence that could give rise to a reasonable suspicion that the item was stolen or otherwise unlawfully obtained. The charge was dismissed.
