JACKSON v R [2017] NZCA 33

- Court of Appeal
The Court held the convictions were reasonable because the text-message evidence, supported by expert analysis and circumstantial purchases, proved the appellant's involvement beyond reasonable doubt; proof of the specific physical location of manufacture was unnecessary; the absence of the co-accused's evidence did not amount to a miscarriage of justice because that evidence was neither fresh nor credible; the uplift for separate supply offences was justified; and the appellant's personal circumstances did not warrant additional mitigation.
