Hinckson sedition trial delayed; case file not returned from DPP

After his third appearance in the Magistrate’s Court yesterday on a charge of sedition, Oliver Hinckson was further remanded with Magistrate Gordon Gilhuys saying that bail will be considered on the next occasion if the prosecution is not prepared to proceed with the trial.

At the last hearing, Magistrate Gilhuys had said that yesterday would have been the beginning of the trial. However, Police Prosecutor Robert Tyndall was not prepared. The court was told that the case file was at the Chambers of the Director of Public Prosecutions, where it had been sent for advice since the last hearing.
