Double jeopardy exceptions in Queensland: One bite at the cherry
Precedent, Vol.179, pp.21-24
2023
Abstract
Queensland's double jeopardy exceptions came under the spotlight again on 24 April 2023 when a previously acquitted person was charged in relation to a murder more than a decade ago, on what police described as 'fresh and compelling evidence'. The former Attorney-General and Minister for Justice in Queensland, Jarrod Bleijie, acknowledged '[a]dvances in technology, particularly DNA testing, means new evidence may become available years after a trial. It would be an injustice if that new evidence could not be considered by a jury'.
