Jury Disagrees In Barbarich Case
In Supreme Court proceedings against Anthony Barbarich, aged 22, accused of breaking into Hamill’s garage, Whakatane, on August 10 and converting a car belonging to Mr P. G. Hammond and worth £650, a jury disagreed. Mr Justice Finlay made an order for a new trial and remanded the prisoner. This case has quite a history. Crown identification of Barbarich rests solely on the evidence of palm print photographs taken from the outside of a glass panel from the garage door. When the evidence was first placed before Messrs L. H. Brown and S. S. Shapley J’s P. on October 7 last year they found that a prim a facie case had not been established and dismissed the information On November 2, the case was placed before Mr E. L. Walton, S.M., who committed Barbarich for trial.
