The Queen v CT
CT was charged with behaving in an offensive manner in a public place, contrary to section 4(1) of the Summary Offences Act 1988. This charge holds a maximum term of imprisonment of 3 months, or 6 penalty units.
CT pleaded not guilty to the offence. On 6 November 17 his matter came before the court and CT maintained a plea of not guilty, so his matter proceeded to a hearing. CT was represented by Christopher Cole. After lengthy cross-examination of the relevant witnesses and submissions made by Mr Cole, the presiding magistrate accepted that CT was innocent and dismissed the charge against him.
This was a great result for a young man with a very promising career ahead of him.
