AA was charged with one count of ‘Possess prohibited drug (Testosterone)’ and one count ‘Possess Prohibited drug (Methandienone)’, contrary to s 10(1) Drug Misuse and Trafficking Act 1985.
Chris Cole acted for AA in his matter.
A plea of guilty was entered to both sequences in the Local Court and the matter was adjourned for Sentence. Chris indicated to the Court that Representations would be sent to the Local Area Command concerning the Facts and possibly placing one of the sequences on a Form 1.
Chris successfully negotiated to have the second sequence placed on a Form 1. The matter proceeded to Sentence.
The Prosecution tendered written materials. Chris then tendered an Affidavit sworn by AA, character references and a drug screen result.
Ultimately, Her Honour Sentenced AA to a Conditional Release Order (CRO) without conviction for a period of 12 months. The only condition of that order is that AA is to be of good behaviour for the period of that order.
AA is required to have a clear criminal record for his employment. This is a great result for AA.
