Agree, photo evidence on its own will carry no weight. It will require good creditable eye witness accounts to support photo evidence, and possibly forensic evidence such as DNA from bullring. Also phone records may prove useful. I feel the most damaging will be personal testimony from reliable witnesses.

Do not be surprised if this case is on going 1 year from now. Brendons first Court appearance will see the charges laid. I expect Brendons lawyer will seek a remand without plea to consider the charges. Their next appearance they will be expected to plea, but I bet dollars to donuts a further excuse will be found for a further remand. This will see a plea sometime later this year which will be not guilty. A date will then have to be found for a defended hearing, this will be sometime in the first half of 2020. If found guilty, then an appeal will go in and may be heard sometime in the second half of 2020. If that fails, then expect an appeal to the Supreme Court, and that will take it to 2021 and beyond. I may be entirely wrong, but thats how I see this panning out.

If he wants to play the “drag it out” game then he needs to be warned off for the entire time, I don’t mean slap on the wrist like what’s happening right now,  I mean no dogs racing full stop

[Four shaw]

All those people in the photos need to be brought to court let’s see how they go telling the truth why not be like Weir the horse trainer get it settled for best interest of the sport

[Yankiwi]

From what I understand, the photo's I have possession of are not all of the photo's. It's rumoured there are more photos, showing some different people in the frames & also there could possibly be a video.

I wonder if Brendon Cole, the GRNZ LP that has been charged because of his alleged live baiting, will apply for and be granted name suppression at his court hearing?

I was wondering if the photos were screen shots from a video, with technology these days they aren’t really that clear, my old iPhone takes better photos than those

Do not think they need new evidence, they only need to say original hearing erred in Fact and Law. They may, that is the defense, decide the trial Judge did in their opinion, direct the jury wrong if jury trial. Or the Judge didn't allow certain evidence that the defense thought was crucial to their case. Good lawyers will come up with many reasons for appeal. It does not rely on new or fresh evidence.

Jury or judge. A judge must rule on the evidence and points of law. Only have to convince him.
A jury composed of 12 individuals, all with a degree of personal bias. How they view animal welfare will have a bearing on how they process the information and the decision they make. A juror who sees a dog's role as a family pet only will unconsciously view the evidence with bias. He has a choice, he would be unwise to try and sway 12 members of the public.

Yes, it is, but given the type of case unlikely. The actual rule is:

"If the jury can’t reach a unanimous verdict after a reasonable time, the judge may accept a majority verdict:

• In criminal cases, this means one juror can disagree.
• In civil cases, one-quarter of the jury can disagree."

Pretty easy for the defence if the strength of the entire case is based on the assumption on the photographic evidence it's a bichon freise tied to the lure.

Its the witness testimony that will carry the most weight and without that I suspect the SPCA would not have proceeded. This will take some time to proceed through the courts I would suspect, better settle in for a very long ride.
