Jarryd Hayne’s lawyers fight to clear jailed footballer over rape

Summary by Ground News

Hayne was jailed for a maximum of four years and nine months with a non-parole period of three years. His first trial ended in a hung jury, while the convictions were quashed on appeal and triggered his third trial. If the first ground is successful, the defence has argued Hayne's convictions should be quashed, and he should be acquitted. If either of the other grounds succeed, they say a fourth trial would be oppressive.
