‘More likely than not’: Hayne tipped to face fourth trial after conviction overturned
A top criminal defence lawyer says it is highly likely the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions will begin an “unprecedented” fourth trial against disgraced former NRL star Jarryd Hayne .
While the Court of Criminal Appeal ordered a new trial, two of the three judges who oversaw Mr Hayne’s appeal urged caution.However, Hugo Law Group partner Tom Taylor said it was “more likely than not” that the 36-year-old would face a retrial given the “procedural history” of the case. Mr Hayne’s second appeal was won on the grounds that District Court Judge Graham Turnbull SC should have allowed the woman complainant, who cannot be named for legal reasons, to be cross-examined on deleted and undisclosed messages she sent in 2021, and by not allowing this to proceed, it resulted in a “miscarriage of justice”.
In March, she told a NSW parliament budget estimates committee that she had instructed her team to examine every sexual assault-related brief that went to trial in order to ensure cases satisfied prosecution guidelines.
