Former lead detective on the William Tyrrell case, Gary Jubelin, will learn his fate today as a Magistrate hands down a verdict in his criminal trial. He’s charged with illegally recording conversations with Paul Savage, who was a POI in the case. #WheresWilliam

Due to new social distancing restrictions, the general public will not be able to attend the hearing, but authorised media will be in the courtroom to hear the decision.

Only media, court staff and legal representatives are in the courtroom. Jubelin’s family members are here to support him, but were not allowed into the building. Many of his usual crowd of supporters have chosen not to come because of the restrictions.

Magistrate Ross Hudson begins by reading to the court the four charges against Jubelin. He will deliver verdicts for each of the four charges, all relating to recording conversations with Savage in 2017 and 2018.

Magistrate Hudson tells the court he is required to be satisfied beyond reasonable doubt Jubelin did not have a lawful reason to record the conversations. Telling the court “even grave suspicion cannot substitute for beyond reasonable doubt”.

Magistrate Hudson told the court “there were differing views in relation to the strike force and who appropriately should or shouldn’t be a target”. He said “I will conclude there was tension and there were differing views in the Strike Force”.

Magistrate Hudson told the court Laura Beacroft was “a witness of truth and reliability” who was “in a difficult position”. “She was a person who looked up to Mr Jubelin, there’s no doubt in my mind about that”.

Magistrate Hudson is now talking about the evidence of Detective Senior Constable Greg Gallyot, who accused Jubelin of bullying and claimed he forced him to record a phone conversion with Savage, by saying “just do it” when he protested.

Magistrate Hudson told the court he accepts Gallyot’s evidence that Jubelin said “just do it” when he hesitated to record the conversation without a warrant. He also accepts his evidence that Jubelin told him not to save it anywhere “because none of the other calls” were saved.

However, Magistrate Hudson told the court “I approach this witness with absolute caution” because Gallyot had since been “elevated to his dream job”. He also noted Gallyot’s inexperience as a Homicide detective.

Magistrate Hudson accepts Gallyot as a “witness who is telling the truth” despite “approaching with caution” given his recent promotion. He told the court Gallyot saved the recording against the direction of his superior officer “because in his mind he knows it’s not right”.

Magistrate Hudson is now discussing Paul Savage’s evidence. He told the court “I don’t accept” the defence argument that Savage knew he was being recorded. “He doesn’t give consent” to being recorded, he told the court.

Magistrate Hudson told the court the junior officers who investigated whether or not Savage saw the Spider-Man suit planted in the bush the day before he reported it “caused further tension” within the Strike Force because they “disobeyed a direction from Mr Jubelin”.

In relation to the recorded phone call with Savage, Magistrate Hudson told the court “the timing of the call is determined by Mr Jubelin”. “He controls the time, date and place and makes the decision to record then”.

Magistrate Hudson told the court “at least two people in his own Strike Force say he physically gave me the phone” and asked them to listen to the recordings.

In commenting on the pursuing of Savage as a POI, Magistrate Hudson told the court “what evidence? There’s no DNA, there’s no fingerprints, there’s no one necessarily who says I saw him go into the backyard where William Tyrrell was... there’s nothing... he picked Mr Savage”.
