R v KD
On 26 March 2019 Christopher Cole appeared in the Supreme Court of NSW on a ‘show cause’ release application for the accused KD.
KD was charged with supplying a commercial quantity of a prohibited drug, as well as an indictable quantity of a prohibited drug.
KD was also on bail for other alleged offences at the time of his arrest.
Both the commercial quantity charge and the fact that KD was on bail at the time of his arrest, triggered two ‘show cause’ events.
A substantial amount of the material was tendered on KD’s behalf and eventually the judge determined that KD had shown cause as to why his detention was no longer justified. He was released on strict conditional bail.
Considering KD had to show cause for two events, this was a fantastic result for the client. The matter remains on foot in the Local Court.
