On Tuesday of this week, Jeff’s legal team filed its submissions with the NSW Court of Criminal Appeal. This is a significant milestone in the campaign to see justice restored for Jeff.
It has been a monumental task to prepare and finalise the appeal material. The whole team is pleased to have finally reached this point and we’re confident of a successful outcome.
The appeal was mentioned in the Court today (June 2nd) and we had all hoped that the judge would set a date for the appeal hearing. However, he granted the Crown until June 30th to review the Defence submissions. When the matter goes back into court on this date, we hope that the judge will finally be able to set the date of the hearing.
Until then, while we still can’t discuss many of the details about our fresh evidence in the appeal, we still have plenty of work to do. Over the coming weeks we plan to release some more background information about the case. And of course we continue to invite your feedback and support.
Our press release on the appeal submission is here.
