- Case number
- HCCC28/1994
The court exercised its discretion to refuse a second voir dire and to accept Cannon DJ's 1994 ruling admitting the defendant's record of interview because the defendant deliberately absconded and thereby forfeited or waived the right to re-litigate; additionally, evidence of the defendant's 1994 flight is admissible because a sufficient nexus to the offence exists, subject to redaction of prejudicial material from his letter.
