  Criminal law is a complex and dynamic field that governs the prosecution and defense of individuals accused of committing crimes. Within this framework, there are various defense strategies that attorneys can employ to protect their clients' rights and interests. These defenses range from alibi to self-defense, each serving a distinct purpose in the pursuit of justice. Alibi: One of the most straightforward defenses is the alibi. An alibi is a claim that the accused was not present at the scene of the crime when it occurred. To establish an alibi defense, the accused typically presents evidence, such as witnesses, surveillance footage, or records, proving that they were in a different location at the time the crime took place. Alibi defenses can be compelling as they directly challenge the prosecution's assertion of the defendant's involvement in the crime. Insanity: The insanity defense is rooted in the idea that individuals who are mentally incapable of understanding th...

Bosscher Lawyers recently represented a client in the Rockhampton Magistrates Court, charged with driving whilst suspended, having driven after being served a notice of suspension by police. Our client was facing a mandatory 2 years disqualification to his license if found guilty. The matter was challenged on the basis that the suspension notice was erroneous at law and ought to be rendered void. Further, Bosscher Lawyers identified an error in the laying of the charges by police. Having considered our argument, the prosecution withdrew the charge and subsequently, our client was discharged from the offence. He, therefore, avoided any license disqualification. Traffic laws are complicated and confusing, particularly those around suspensions and disqualifications.

In light of the recent matter before the ACT courts, involving Brittany Higgins as the complainant, together with recent news articles discussing unresolved criminal matters , it is important to not judge a person or a matter until the courts have decided the case. The presumption of innocence is the cornerstone of our criminal justice.   We have all heard the presumption of innocence expressed as, “ innocent until proven guilty ”.   More properly, the expression ought to be “ innocent unless found guilty ”. The expression “ innocent until proven guilty ” has a connotation of inevitability about it.   That inference of inevitability itself erodes the presumption of innocence and is wrong. With the explosion of social media and instant access to local, national and international news, the community is easily exposed to a wealth of information and material which even five years ago was not available.   One of the biggest issues encountered in the face of such...

There has been significant attention given recently to the sentencing of a young man who (at 17 years of age), whilst driving dangerously and under the influence of alcohol and drugs, killed a young couple and their unborn child. A tragic event such as this has catastrophic and lifelong impacts on everyone associated with the matter, whether that be the victims, their friends or families but also the perpetrator. As the sentencing judge indicated, no sentence will ever be adequate and cannot do justice to the suffering caused. Unfortunately, nothing can ever undo the events of that day. With that in mind, the court was faced with sentencing a young person who was only 17 at the time of the offending. The court heard of the extremely unfortunate and tragic events of his own upbringing, one that included neglect, exposure to domestic violence and abuse and early exposure to illicit substances . It is in the context of a terrible upbringing with a clear lack of positive guidance, to...

Clients are often concerned about the impact of their criminal matters on their job and employment prospects in the future. While this article provides important information for people facing criminal convictions or with a criminal history, employers should also take note. While some employees simply cannot do their job because of their criminal history (for example, where they require security clearances), employers should take care when making hiring decisions where applicants have a criminal history. Where a person’s ability to do their job is in no way impacted by their criminal history, employers must take care not to fall foul of anti-discrimination law. Additionally, it may pay to enquire as to the circumstances surrounding an applicant’s offending. Your best employee may have made a foolish mistake or shown a lapse in judgement which has resulted in their criminal history. Jumping to conclusions about a person’s trustworthiness may be at the cost of securing the most competent,...

Turner allegedly helped her son buy a yacht to escape the country before his drug smuggling trial in 2015. Bosscher Lawyers is representing Turner in this case.

With news that alleged drug importer Mostafa Baluch has been found and arrested, police are continuing to make comments about the original grant of bail, the latest indicating how police are “furious the magistrate allowed him out on bail”. A grant of bail is a consideration of certain risks to the community etc and are founded on a number of factors, including a person’s criminal history but importantly the strength of the police case. Police did not provide the court with the appropriate amount of evidence to satisfy a Magistrate that bail should not be granted. It was Police who failed to satisfy a court in circumstances where they, after obviously spending considerable resources in investigating Mr Baluch, could not compile a compelling enough argument. The Magistrate granted bail with extremely strict conditions, including wearing an ankle bracelet that is monitored by police 24/7. Police are alerted immediately when a bracelet is tampered with so would have been aware as soon ...

A 67-year old mother and grandmother have successfully had her conviction overturned before the Queensland Court of Appeal. After her trial before the Mackay District Court in November 2020, a jury found her guilty of assisting her son to flee the country to avoid major drug charges himself, as well as three counts of lying to the Supreme Court regarding her son’s disappearance. Prosecutions argued that our client conspired with her son to avoid his 2015 Supreme Court trial for the importation and trafficking of cocaine. Approximately one month before that trial commenced, her son disappeared, to eventually be found in the Philippines almost precisely two years later. The conviction came on Day 9 of the trial after the defence had called a number of witnesses, including a handwriting expert, to rebut the prosecution case. Despite maintaining her innocence and producing evidence to support her claim, clearly, the jury accepted the prosecution case. As a result of the convictions, sh...
