If what they had in the vehicle was audio, how did they know what he was doing? Surely he wasn't doing a commentary? And how did they know about the sun screen? Unless, there was video as well?

Tipping it was the twelfth man type of thing

If you read the whole article from the link I provided in a later post, you'll get more info on why they eventually decided to do it whilst they were in. Partly due to it being during COVID restrictions when there was a lot more staying in than usual.

What would have happened if they were caught in the act of installing this stuff? A phony arrest for breaking & entering?

 

[Zidane98]

They did get the conviction but it was a very very close run thing. And there’s still an appeal to come.

Hope the cops and the DPP learn from this and not tread such a fine line in the future. And use sunscreen responsibly.

It was good work. Justice Croucher had pretty much offered GL/Dann the opportunity of a mistrial after the stuff in prosecution closing that wasn't put to GL on the stand. They declined, thinking they were in a good position. Thankfully, they were proven wrong.

Pretty sure he was singing the Banana Boat song during the deed.

Unlike most professions, Judges are subject to the very public judgement of their peers for their decisions .

They have a vested interest in getting it right, if nothing else to preserve their professional conceit.

Every single decision during the case by Croucher would have been made with the awareness that if he got it wrong his fellow Judges would be quite scathing in judgement of his errors.

Therefore he run a conservative trial under established precedents

Very true, this was a super high profile case and the stakes were high.


I believe Croucher played it perfectly. The issue of the prosecution's closing arguments not being put to GL when he was on the stand simply had to be addressed as a procedural legal matter.

Not only was Dann given the option of a mistrial I also understand that Croucher instructed the jury to disregard closing arguments that were not put to GL on the stand.

My understanding is this legal avenue is completely closed now on any appeal as Croucher afford the defense every opportunity to use it and that opportunity was refused.

I actually don't see an appeal being heard he was that thorough.


My understanding of the appeals process is that can only happen if there is significant new exculpatory evidence that is available (not happening) or the conviction was legally unsafe (eg Pell case). To my mind I believe Croucher has made this conviction water right and an appeal will get no further than lodgment.
