Case Study

While on bail for robbery-related matters, our client was arrested again and initially faced ten charges. Four charges were removed after a summary case conference, and our client entered a plea to the remaining six charges:

• Two charges of robbery 
• Two charges of attempted robbery 
• Two charges of committing an indictable offence whilst on bail.

Our client received a 12-month Community Corrections Order (CCO), which involved supervision, drug treatment, reduced re-offending programs, and judicial monitoring, with no conviction recorded. This is a great outcome considering the serious charges, and it allowed our client to move on without impacting job prospects. Our argument focused on our client's rehabilitation prospects to support the idea of not recording a conviction.
