A Sydney magistrate has scolded police over their handling of the criminal case against former senior NSW detective Gary Jubelin.
Police who investigated and eventually charged former NSW detective Gary Jubelin have been scolded over their handling of the case after witness statements seemed to"magically appear" during the hearing.
Magistrate Ross Hudson on Tuesday was asked to allow the Crown to tender two statements from two detectives who worked under Jubelin in the Tyrrell investigation.The hearing began in Sydney's Downing Centre Local Court on February 3 before one statement"seemed to magically appear" on 5 February and the other statement was signed the following day, Mr Hudson said.
Mr Hudson pointed to the investigators' non-compliance with evidence obligations, the many months the matter had been set down for hearing and the prosecution of Jubelin without first seeking a statement from the man he'd allegedly illegally recorded.AAP"How are the police running this investigation?"
