Description
Magistrate Jackie Hartnett and Dr Michael Robertson, Clinical and Forensic Toxicologist, present into the Criminal Law Conference 2022 to discuss the following: do the issues surrounding memory and consent match the evidence?; What is forensic toxicology and the role of the expert?; Typical scenarios – sexual assault; Alcohol – how drunk were they?; Issues of memory and consent; and, What about other drugs?
Key takeaways from this session are:
- Good to establish a BAC (blood, drinking history, witness observations) but not a must.
- Do the witness observations / CCTV corroborate the blood alcohol concentration?
- What are the likely affects of the alcohol? Are other drugs involved?
- Does the evidence preclude an individual appreciating what was happening and/or being capable of giving consent?
