Jarryd Hayne case... but of course we are being premature about any appeal being needed:-
"The jury was given legal directions that were “flawed in almost every possible way”, Game said.
He also succeeded in convincing the appeal court it was an error to overrule a verdict from the first trial in relation to evidence he said explained the complainant’s “abiding interest in having sex with Jarryd Hayne”.
Another two appeal grounds – including that the jury’s verdict was unreasonable – were dismissed."
So the court considers more than just the directions to the jury... maybe in Deep North Queensland the M.1 Garand has two latch pins, but in the US Marines and Army they did not.
You cited three 'grounds.'
The first two were errors by a Judge, allowed.....the last.....error by Jury, dismissed.
Do you not read your own 'links?'
The last - thank you for putting your head in the noose - was dismissed - meaning that the judge(s) looked at the interpretation of the evidence given to the jury......
You carried on as if the only reason an appeal would get up is if the judge misdirected the jury... I said not so, they also look at the evidence.
Do you know what you are saying half the time these days, Aussie?
In the case of Lehrmann, he will have many MORE grounds for appeal, not least the thinness of the prosecution case and the lack of any substantive evidence.... compared to Hayne, where there was at least blood and no argument that some form of sexual activity had taken place.
