The Queen v MH
MH was charged with two counts of 'supply commercial quantity of prohibited drug' contrary to the Drugs Misuse and Trafficking Act 1985, as well as a number of other serious offences, including 'possess the proceeds of crime' and 'possess prescribed restricted substance'.
MH had an extensive criminal history of large-scale drug supply matters, both in NSW and Victoria. As a result the defendant was initially refused bail by the local court magistrate.
An application was made to the Supreme Court by Mr Christopher Cole, and this application was successful despite the extensive criminal history and severity of charges. MH was granted bail and his proceedings are pending in the District Court of NSW.
