Appeal Determined (QCA)
[2021] QCA 14
11 Feb 2021
Appeal against conviction allowed, conviction set aside, new trial ordered; trial judge erred both in discharging juror for apprehended bias and then in continuing trial with jury of 11, denying appellant right to be tried by jury of 12 and causing miscarriage of justice; certain disclosures admissible as preliminary complaint evidence as, although lacking in detail, each was unambiguously referable to conduct charged: Mullins JA (Morrison JA and Lyons SJA agreeing).
