FAQs

Not only objective evidence is evidence (DNA, cameras, paperwork, etc.). Witness statements are also evidence. As long as the police believe that the victim's statement outweighs the defendant's statement, it is possible to charge the defendant. Similarly, a conviction is possible after cross-examination if the judge (District Court) or jury believes the victim's or other witnesses' statements.
In the Magistrates' Court, if the Mental Health Act application is successful, the criminal proceedings are dismissed and a clean record is achieved. Even if the application fails, the defendant can still fight the not guilty trial. If the acquittal trial is unsuccessful, the application can be reconsidered on appeal, and if unsuccessful then a sentencing/conviction appeal can be made. If appropriate, a application equates to giving the defendant several more chances to achieve a clean record outcome.
In a NSW State jury trial, if 12 jurors cannot agree, the judge will give special instructions for the jury to try to reach 11. If 11 people cannot agree either, the jury will be discharged. The prosecution can re-advance the case (retrial). If the jury is discharged twice in a row and cannot agree, in practice the prosecution will not usually proceed to a third retrial.
No. The elements of criminal law in Australia may be different from what is commonly perceived. For example, many people think that not getting physical is not violence. Many people think you can't be charged with importing drugs if you don't know what's in the parcel. What you should do during a police interview is to ask the police officer if you can remain silent, and if so, you should remain silent. Anything you say can be used as evidence for a conviction making it substantially more difficult for your future lawyer to defend you.
There are many documents and conditions to prepare for bail. This is because failing to post bail in the Magistrates' Court results in having to go to the District or Supreme Court to try again, which is a lot more expensive and time consuming. In addition to the need for a bond and surety, both the bond and surety need to meet certain conditions, and additional conditions may increase the success rate of bail such as electronic shackles, which need to be prepared well in advance if they are to be used. We have extensive practical experience in this area.
A visa may be cancelled if you are sentenced to prison for more than 12 months, PR is also a visa. In addition, any criminal record may result in the renewal of the visa being questioned by the Immigration Department and asked to provide additional explanations and statements before the visa can be successfully renewed.
