Duncan was arrested at a Narrabri Pony Club event a week after his conviction but was re-released after an allegation he breached his bail conditions could not be proven.
by Crown prosecutors, when Duncan's lawyers revealed he had recently been diagnosed with prostate cancer and would require surgery in September, thereby falling under the definition of "special or exceptional circumstances". "Prostate cancer is not a condition where it is beneficial to delay treatment," Judge Tupman told the court.
"People wait a considerable amount of time [in prison] for outside intervention," Judge Tupman told the court.The judge said media coverage of the case was "unfortunate", and given the public attention it had received she could be facing "judicial death" if she did not take the time necessary to read all the submitted documents while considering Duncan's sentence.
Shame if there was an accident.
