SA: Charges against lawyer, brother could be dismissed
A magistrate has threatened to dismiss criminal charges against a prominent Adelaide
lawyer .. unless prosecutors detail their allegations more specifically.
Magistrate FRED FIELD isn't satisfied with prosecution attempts to provide particulars
of charges faced by lawyer .. EUGENE NORMAN McGEE .. and his brother CRAIG PATRICK McGEE.
Both men have been charged with conspiracy to pervert the course of justice following
a hit-run crash in 2003 that killed a cyclist.
Mr FIELD has told prosecutor PETER BREBNER that he's failed to satisfactorily provide
particulars .. as previously ordered.
He told the court that if prosecutors fail to provide further information before the
next hearing .. he may be sympathetic to a defence application to have the proceedings
dismissed.
