He sought a plea resolution to finalise the matter and move on with his life. We negotiated concessions with the prosecution and reduction of charges. Prosecution sought further jail time. Our barrister argued that a Community Corrections Order is in range on the basis of the time our client spent in custody, years of onerous bail conditions which were fully complied with, rehabilitation, as well as giving up valid defences.
