13.01.2022 Domestic Violence Breach x 2 & Possess a Dangerous Drug Our client had a Domestic Violence Order (DVO) from a previous partner to whom they had a child together. There was also the issue of steroid use and police proceeded with a possess dangerous drug charge. Background - Our client had breached a DVO after an altercation resulting from being withheld from seeing their child. Whilst not a defence, certainly withholding a child from another parent might explain, at the time, ...why a breach had occurred. During the police investigation, the use of steroids was also raised and so our client was charged accordingly. Another issue to point out here is that our client had a blue card and any criminal conviction would be a detriment to his current and future employment. Process - Whilst there was clear evidence against our client in relation to the DVO, the charge of possess dangerous drug proceeded by case conference with Police Prosecutors and discussions went back and forth. Outcome - Given the circumstances, proving to the court that this was a one off and that future breaches were now not likely, our client was fined a total of $900 for both breaches with no recording of a conviction. The possess dangerous drug charge was successfully discontinued. If you are in a similar situation call us now on 07 5522 5777.

11.01.2022 Charge Torture, Grievous Bodily Harm & Acts Intended to Maim/ Disfigure/ Disable Background Our client was caught up in a misunderstanding between a couple whereby he intervened in a date that went wrong. The couple were attacking each other violently when our client intervened to stop the couple from further hurting each other. When witnesses arrived, at first, it seemed that our client was involved - not everything is always as it seems. Perception here played a big part in... what was witnessed that resulted in the above serious charges against our client. Our client instructed he was simply intervening to assist and so our instructions were to defend the charges all the way. The other issue was that our client was facing possible deportation due to the seriousness of the allegations. Process Facing 14 years for two charges each and life imprisonment for one charge, our client’s version whilst plausible, was a tough battle given that there were several witnesses. The matter commenced through the Magistrate Court whereby witnesses were cross examined. This important process allowed for certain truths to be realised and prepare for trial without any surprises. Vigorous questioning, persistence, belief in our client and evidence led to an outcome that our client was more than satisfied with prior to proceeding to trial. Outcome Under instruction, we prepared to proceed to trial. Our client was committed and indicted to stand trial. Approximately 1 month before the commencement of trial, the matter was nolle prosequi (discontinued). Need advice on a similar misunderstanding call the team at TWC Lawyers now for a discussion on how we can help you on 07 5522 5777.
