This follows on from the earlier discussion with Carly in last week's materials.
In this discussion, Carly Marcs provides an overview of the background to Faruk Orman v The Queen [2019] VSCA 163; 59 VR 511. This was a high profile case, the first successful appeal by a person wrongfully convicted based on evidence collected by Nicola Gobbo (Lawyer X) a barrister who was providing information to Victoria Police.
Even it it's so late in the semester that you can't bear the idea of another lecture, I think you'll enjoy this recording. It's a great story! Carly tells us about her role as an instructing solicitor during her articles in Mick Gatto's murder trial, and the discussion raises questions about the role of the prosector and the police investigations in serious crime.
This discussion offers valuable insights into the complexities of criminal cases, the challenges faced by lawyers, and the importance of ethical decision-making. It prompts you to consider the ethical responsibility of legal professionals in ensuring a fair trial and the potential consequences of using coercive tactics to obtain information. Reflecting on these issues can help you develop a better understanding of the ethical considerations involved in the practice of law and the impact they can have on the justice system.
