JJS v The State of Western Australia

In JJS v The State of Western Australia, the defendant appealed against his conviction and sentence for an offence of sexual penetration of a child under the age of sixteen years. The appeal was heard by the Western Australian Court of Appeal. The defendant argued that his conviction was unsafe and unsatisfactory, and that the trial judge had erred in his summing up to the jury.

The court was required to determine whether the conviction was supported by the evidence and whether there were any errors in the summing up to the jury. The court also needed to consider whether the trial judge's comments on the evidence were appropriate and whether the jury was capable of assessing their own capacities.

The court found that the evidence was sufficient to support the conviction, and that there were no errors in the summing up to the jury. The court held that the trial judge's comments on the evidence were appropriate and that the jury was capable of assessing their own capacities. The appeal was dismissed.

The court did not make any orders.
