Mihelic v R [2019] NSWCCA 2
Sentencing – remorse – procedural fairness – the rule in Browne v Dunn
The CCA has considered circumstances in which it might be an error for a sentencing judge to fail to take sworn evidence of remorse into account – and in the process, seems to have pushed at an open door by saying that a failure by the Crown to cross examine might be used against them.
