A NSW District Court jury has found Guy Sebastian’s former manager, Titus Day, not guilty of three counts of embezzlement by direction, and has been told by the judge to later return not guilty verdicts for dozens of alternative stealing charges., received by virtue of his employment as Sebastian’s manager, and 50 alternative charges of larceny.Brook Mitchell
On Thursday, Judge Timothy Gartelmann said he had determined “the accused has no case to answer on certain counts in the indictment”, as questions of law arose when the Crown case closed.Regarding three counts of embezzlement and their larceny alternatives, the judge determined “there was simply no evidence at all that the accused did the act alleged to constitute any of these offences”, and said he was “obliged” to direct the jury to return not guilty verdicts on those counts.
“I have determined, also, that as a matter of law the Crown case on all the alternative counts cannot succeed,” Judge Gartelmann said. “In due course, I will direct you to return verdicts of not guilty on these counts too.”
