it seems odd bs has waived the committal hearing and has chosen to go straight to trial, maybe his legal aid rep has advised this to save money?
if his lawyer thought his case was weak enough, it would be thrown out at a committal hearing,
the judge will only continue to a trial if there is strong enough evidence of guilt and hes confident the jury would find him guilty
maybe all those missing files have been found?
unless his legal reps are planning this...to apply for the prosecution against him to be permanently stayed due to a lack of credible evidence.Such an application can more easily be made once the trial process is under way.
