This case involved the death of the victim. The Crown ran two alternate cases that corresponded with a charge of murder, and a charge of accessory after the fact. O’Brien Criminal and Civil Solicitors ran the defence that the client had nothing to do with murder. She only assisted in the cover up of the murder under duress from her violent partner. The court accepted this and the client was found not guilty on both charges.

AA faced charges of murder after prosecutors allege that AA and four others took part in a beating which caused the death of the victim. We assisted AA in his lengthy Supreme Court trial that spanned several weeks. The defence presented evidence that successfully established that AA never struck the deceased. Also, that he lacked the necessary intention to prove the charge of murder. The jury found AA not guilty of murder, and not guilty of manslaughter.

The Supreme Court of NSW found LC guilty of murder following a trial. LC appealed to the Court of Criminal Appeal against both his conviction and sentence. The CCA found that there had been a miscarriage of justice. This was because an alternative verdict of manslaughter was not left to the jury despite such an alternative being ‘open on the evidence’. Consequently, a re-trial then followed.
