Larsen v R 31 January 2005

The applicant was found guilty by a Darwin Supreme Court jury of one count of aggravated unlawful entry of a building and one count of aggravated assault. An aggregate sentence of 2 years and 6 months imprisonment was imposed. A non-parole of 15 months was fixed.

The applicant sought leave to appeal against the findings of guilt on a number of grounds to the effect that the verdicts were unreasonable and could not be supported having regard to the evidence.

The applicant did not apply to have his application reheard by the Court of Criminal Appeal pursuant to s.429(2) of the Criminal Code.
