Matt and Ciara were prepared to start a 3 week jury retrial at Auckland District Court for LK charged with theft from her employer (x 3). The trial was adjourned as the Court had only allocated 2 weeks of hearing time. We have filed an application for a permanent stay of proceedings based on abuse of process, as 4 years has elapsed since LK was first charged and prejudice caused to her defence.
ANOTHER NEW TESTIMONIAL: MATT GOODWIN
“I would like to thank you Matt for everything over the last 3.5 years. It definitely was a long and hard process but I am very satisfied with his work. From the beginning my matter was full of emotions and lots of patience from Matt’s end and that showed for the duration of my case – it helped me know that I was in good hands and that he tried his best, right to the end. I do have some regrets from my end however, I accept my sentence and know that there was nothing else we could do so for that I am thankful. I wish Matt the best and hope to see him soon!”
