Flatmate dead? Dump the drugs.

sounds like Garth was an idiot if he didn’t deny all knowledge of it. That’s the BEAUTY of group houses; the cops have to choose WHO to charge and it’s virtually impossible to prove WHO contraband belonged to (if in a common area anyway, not so if in a ‘personal’ space like a bedroom – be warned – keep stashes in ‘public’ spaces)

And van Zuylen aint no saint. More like a hanging judge. Legal eagles universally despise him. A very poor magistrate.

Merciful my arse. Hung over from a night on the turps with the local prosecutor is much more likely according to my counsel ….

actually Garth was the one to tell the police about it.

Poor bugger. Must have incriminated himself. Shouldn’t have spoken a word and waited til court to tell everyone the stash belonged to the deceased.

We should sub-contract out our copping to the Qbn cops, and our judging to the Qbn judges. Probably be cheaper, too.

Party on Garth!

Its a terrible state of affairs when Canberra’s “people’s hero” of the judiciary is actually a Queanbeyan magistrate…

the smell?

Maybe he spent the night camped out in JB’s sleeping bag as per the tag line?

The police – “Once there they began to suspect there were drugs in the house”.

I wonder what made them suspect that – a bong on the coffee table? Jim Morrison poster on the wall?

Sensible outcome though.
