ROBERT FRANK TERRY
v
THE QUEEN

Court: Tipping, McGrath and Anderson JJ
Counsel: Appellant in person
S B Edwards for Crown
Judgment: 31 August 2007

JUDGMENT OF THE COURT

The application for leave to appeal is dismissed.

REASONS

[1] This application for leave to appeal raises no point of general or public
importance. The grounds relied on are, in any event, forlorn. There is no appearance of any substantial miscarriage of justice.

[2] After an earlier mis-trial, Mr Terry pleaded guilty to a charge of threatening to kill. Notwithstanding his plea, he appealed to the Court of Appeal against the conviction. He also appealed against the sentence imposed upon him which was a direction that he enter into a bond to keep the peace for 12 months. These appeals were dismissed by the Court of Appeal.
