Remember Private
R? He figured in the High Court of Australia's landmark court-martial jurisdiction case of
Private R v. Cowen, [2020] HCA 31. The Defence Force Discipline Appeal Tribunal has just affirmed his conviction.
See Private R Army v. Chief of Army [2022] ADFDAT 1. Among the issues: did he receive effective assistance of counsel? -- a tough argument when one of the trial defense counsel is among those representing the defendant on appeal.
