Prosecutor Deborah Mandie said she was determined to appeal the decision and attempted to have the trial delayed until next year.Ĭlearly becoming increasingly frustrated at the prosecutions further attempts to delay their fraught case, Magistrate Rozencwajg stated: Well, perhaps he can sense a wrongful arrest case coming - after all there were s erious questions about the arrest warrant he issued. Witnesses have reported Detective Sergeant John Tyquin became visibly enraged at the outcome. The prosecution, who were well aware that this outcome was not only possible, but also extremely likely, went into meltdown. Having the allegations reincarnated in Victoria where politics and police seemingly mix better must have been the Plan B. The NSW Fraud squad stated there was no criminality involved and dropped any investigations into the matter like a hot … let’s just say potato. What the mainstream may forget to remind their readers is that these matters had been looked into by the NSW Fraud Squad numerous times after George Brandis hounded them - until he ran out of phone credit, or perhaps just credibility. The charges were dismissed as they do not relate to the Victorian police and involve alleged events occurring in NSW. What you have most likely read in the mainstream press is how the prosecution team have vowed to appeal this decision that was made based on jurisdictional issues. In fact, these entire proceedings make a mockery of our legal system.ĭay three looms large and, despite two days of one of the country’s most eagerly awaited trials already having passed, the prosecution has yet to even make their opening address.Īnd despite prosecution not yet addressing the court or calling a single witness, 79 of the charges against Thomson have already been dismissed by the magistrate. To say that the prosecution’s case has been left in tatters would be an egregious understatement. Those who were in Melbourne’s Magistrates Court yesterday for day two of the Craig Thomson trial might well have assumed they had, in fact, entered the Twilight Zone.
Will it last until Day Four? Peter Wicks reports. Everything the mainstream media thought they knew about the Thomson case has been thrown on its head by Day Two of the trial.
