Complete joke.
Must be an election coming up.
The DPP is not an elected position, it is appointed. The current DPP's term in NSW does not expire until August 2031 as she was only appointed in August 2021.

We can fund the DPP and also fund Womens refuges.Thanks..
I meant the state government but if this is the standard of DPP we get…
….. perhaps the dpp position should be elected.
A third go at him is entirely unconscionable and could result in yet another miscarriage of justice.
How many millions of tax payers dollars is being wasted on this while women’s refuges are being closed down and peoples homes are under water.
Maybe f**king Putin is right, maybe the west is full of would-be nazis?
I never thought I’d see the day when that tosser Hayne would become a unwitting martyr, but here he is.
That is my honest opinion.
It always has been a matter of which version of events people believed. The "evidence" fits both stories.Obviously still have a tonne of shit on him.
I wouldn’t be surprised if there were other cases with little evidence and this one will be used to hang him for it all.
It would be more likely that they believe they can secure a conviction based on the evidence.Have you considered the possibility that the DPP have decided to pursue a third trial because they believe that he’s guilty?

IMO there's just too many things that at the very least provide reasonable doubt.
-She complained that he didn't stay longer after he had already left. This is the biggest one for me. I just can't see why any victim would want the person that supposedly abused them to hang around afterwards.
-Her mother being in the next room and she didn't call out for help. Also it seems a bit risky anyone would rape someone with a potential witness so close also. Not to see that she couldn't have been scared to call for help and he wasn't crazy enough he didn't care. But if she was scared to call for help, why did she want him hanging around afterwards?
-Thousands of messages sent prior where she was trying to make it a sexual relationship. This doesn't mean she can't change her mind obviously. But did she change her mind when she claims she did? or after regretting the encounter that she was willingly participating in and him just bailing on her?
I don't know what happened. I don't think we ever will know for sure. But there's more than enough doubt in my mind that you can't send him away for it. Even though there's reason to doubt his innocence also. It's not up to him to prove his innocence beyond a reasonable doubt. It's up to them to prove his guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
It just seems ass backwards that in this case he has been presumed guilty even by the judge in the second trial and it has been on him to prove he is definitely innocent rather than the opposite. I just hope if he is found guilty again and sent away that he actually was guilty. But I think it's scary how easily accusations that haven't even been proven can be believed so quickly and a person can be screwed if they can't prove they're a lie.
Agree on all points. Especially considering the amount of wrongful convictions that have been overturned thanks to developments in DNA evidence. Sometimes you can get a jury made up of the 12 dumbest people in the country or a bunch of people who just don't like the look of you. Based on the 1st and 2nd trials and the lengthy deadlock in the 3rd, I find it hard to believe that he was "guilty beyond reasonable doubt." If Hayne was telling the truth it sure would be a shame that an innocent man is in jail, but he wouldn't be the first and won't be the last.
Just calling a jury dumb because you don’t agree with their decision is one of the most dumb duck things I have heard. 2 f**ken juries have convicted him. The probabilities of them being all dumb twice - particularly in a sexual assault case where rate of conviction is generally low is f**king low. Not saying this should necessarily influence decision but this is from a guy who already paid off someone $100k in a civil sexual assault case in USA. But hey if you think you know he is not guilty by media reports and speculation rather than 2 juries who have been in court for the whole case than go for it.

facts:
- 2 juries found him guilty beyond reasonable doubt with 1 jury hung.
- all these juries would be privy to a lot more information then we would have and have been attending court day in and day out hearing all evidence.
- his appeal was allowed on a technicality.
