Alan Jones’s Lawyers Have ‘Grave Concerns’ About Legality of Police Phone Search_ Court Hears
NEW SOUTH WALES, AUSTRALIA, JUL 8 – Alan Jones' legal team disputes the validity of police searches conducted in November amid 35 charges, including 20 counts of indecent assault, police said.
During Tuesday's hearing at Sydney's Central Local Court, Alan Jones’s lawyer Bryan Wrench raised concerns about the legality of police’s November phone search, with the case adjourned until September 18.
Media investigations by The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age prompted an eight-month police probe, leading to Jones’ arrest on November 18 at his harbourside apartment.
Magistrate Jennifer Giles granted an extension until September 18; the case will return then, as Jones’s lawyer raises concerns over police evidence disclosure.
NSW Police have engaged legal counsel, and Wrench hopes issues will be resolved 'as expeditiously as possible,' potentially setting a legal precedent on evidence disputes.
