Charges downgraded & spent conviction

Mr Sheehy negotiated a favourable resolution for a client facing two stealing charges listed for trial in the Magistrates Court. Following negotiations, the prosecution agreed to substitute both charges with a single lesser offence of possessing stolen or unlawfully obtained property, with the facts amended to accurately reflect the circumstances. The client received a modest fine and court costs, and Mr Sheehy successfully secured a spent-conviction order. This was a highly favourable outcome achieved on the day of trial.
