Serious District Court Charges Withdrawn 

This week, Velasquez Legal successfully defended charges of wound with intent to cause grievous bodily harm. This charge carries a maximum penalty of 25 years and a standard non-parole period of seven years. There were serious defects with the circumstantial Crown case including issues of false identification, illegally obtained evidence and unreliable witnesses. After over two years of waiting in custody for trial, our client who consistently indicated he was not guilty was released yesterday from custody at Silverwater to his waiting family.
