It’s back to regular programming! In Episode 31 Sophie and Caitlin discuss: • Legitimate forensic purpose in a police subpoena in RS v Commissioner of Police (NSW) \[2026\] NSWCCA 128 • The Carey Defence and Directions and when it doesn’t apply in Aslan - Aslan v R \[2026\] NSWCCA 123 • Cross examination of an accused, and the limits on it or not, in NR v R \[2026\] NSWCCA 126 • Whether you can be convicted on fingerprint and DNA evidence alone in Haouchar v R \[2026\] NSWCCA 124 • And a further reminder that no causal link is required between disadvantaged background and offending when applying Bugmy principles in Armstrong v R \[2026\] NSWCCA 112
