<blockquote><p>
A PAIR of accused drug traffickers could not have received a fair trial because a judge fell asleep for up to 20 minutes at a time during their trial, the High Court has ruled.<br />
…<br />
Evidence from a hearing of the NSW Criminal Appeal Court indicated Judge Dodd appeared to sleep for periods of up to 20 minutes at a time, sometimes accompanied by snoring. </p>
<p>His sleep periods became longer as the trial proceeded with members of the jury visibly distracted and, at times, amused. Court officials sometimes loudly dropped documents in a bid to wake the snoring judge. </p>
<p>Cesan, in his appeal evidence, said the judge’s snoring was disruptive when he was being cross-examined. </p>
<p>Crown prosecutor Geoffrey Bellew swore an affidavit referring to occasions on which the judge appeared to be asleep. </p>
<p>The High Court unanimously ruled Judge Dodd did not exercise supervision of the trial as required by law and, as a result, the jury was distracted. </p>
<p>Chief Justice Robert French said a judge must be seen to be upholding this duty. </p>
<p>“Where the judge is noticeably and repeatedly asleep or inattentive during the trial, there can be a miscarriage of justice,” he said.</p>
<p>“The trial in this case was so flawed. There was a miscarriage of justice. It could not be said that the miscarriage was not substantial.”</p>
<p>The court ruled the men should be retried.
</p></blockquote>
<p>Hilarious. It seems you can get a chance at a do over even if your lawyer is incompetent, as long as he’s boring.
