CaseChat Overview and Summary
The Supreme Court of Tasmania heard a number of criminal cases on 22 April 2021. Tyler Anthony James Causon appealed against his conviction and sentence for charges related to dangerous driving and dangerous operation of a vehicle. The Court of Criminal Appeal was required to determine whether the trial judge erred in his consideration of certain evidence and whether the sentence was manifestly excessive. The Director of Public Prosecutions sought an appeal against the conviction and sentence of Steven Anthony Dunne, who was found guilty of charges including assault occasioning bodily harm and unlawful possession of a knife. The court was required to assess whether the trial judge erred in his directions to the jury and whether the sentence was appropriate.
The Court of Criminal Appeal found that the trial judge had not erred in his consideration of the evidence and that the sentence was not manifestly excessive. The appeal was therefore dismissed. The Director of Public Prosecutions' appeal against the conviction and sentence of Steven Anthony Dunne was also dismissed. The Court found that there were no errors in the trial judge's directions to the jury and that the sentence was appropriate. The appellant's convictions and sentences were therefore upheld.
No final orders were made in relation to the cases mentioned above. The outcomes of the appeals were determined on the day of the hearing.
