Procedural Posture

Criminal Appeal / Renewed Application for Leave to Appeal Against Conviction and Sentence

Legal Issues

  1. 1 Whether convictions for murder in the second trial are unsafe due to alleged inconsistency with manslaughter convictions in the first trial
  2. 2 Whether the minimum term imposed on Walters was manifestly excessive

Ratio Decidendi

The convictions are safe because the evidence heard by the juries in the two trials differed significantly, and inconsistent verdicts from different juries in separate trials do not render convictions unsafe. The minimum term imposed on Walters was not manifestly excessive as the judge correctly applied the law and assessed aggravating and mitigating factors.
