Abstract

The first re-trial under the second or subsequent appeal provisions introduced into the Criminal Procedure Act 2009 (Vic) has recently concluded, resulting in the acquittal of Jason Roberts for the 1998 murders of two Victoria Police officers. This article traces the various stages in Roberts’ efforts to have his conviction overturned, raising questions about the efficacy of the different mechanisms available for redressing miscarriages of justice. Ultimately, while the second or subsequent appeal process can be considered a success for Roberts, significant barriers remain for other wrongfully convicted persons whose circumstances do not receive the attention of a powerful commission of inquiry such as IBAC.
杰森·罗伯茨案:纠正司法不公的第二次或随后的上诉程序?
根据2009年《刑事诉讼法》(Vic)中引入的第二项或随后的上诉条款,第一次重审最近结束,杰森·罗伯茨因1998年谋杀两名维多利亚警察而被无罪释放。这篇文章追溯了罗伯茨推翻定罪的各个阶段,对纠正司法不公的不同机制的效力提出了质疑。最终,尽管罗伯茨的第二次或随后的上诉程序可以被认为是成功的,但对于其他被错误定罪的人来说,他们的情况没有得到像IBAC这样强大的调查委员会的关注,仍然存在重大障碍。
