Accused triple murderer Max Sica could face judge-only trial
ACCUSED triple murderer Max Sica could seek a judge-only trial for the alleged murder of the Singh children, a court heard today.
In the Supreme Court in Brisbane, prosecutor Brendan Campbell presented an indictment charging Sica with the murders of Neelma Singh, 24, her brother Kunal, 18, and sister Sidhi, 12.
The Singh children were found dead in a spa at their parents' Bridegeman Downs home, on Brisbane's northside, on April 22, 2003.
Sica was committed to stand trial for their murders last October and will plead not guilty at trial.
Mr Campbell told the court at this stage the trial would run 15 weeks and include 250 witnesses.
Barrister Sam Di Carlo, for Sica, agreed the trial would run at least 15 weeks.
Justice John Byrne said the courts were trying to discourage such long trials.
"You are asking jurors to give up lengthy periods of their lives," Justice Byrne said.
Mr Di Carlo said there could be an application for a judge-only trial and Sica's case seemed to fit into the criteria needed for one.
He said the problem was police charged Sica after a seven-year investigation and there were seven years worth of witnesses.
"We have got it down from a possible 600 witnesses," Mr Di Carlo said.
Mr Campbell and Mr Di Carlo said they would have further talks in which some evidence might be dealt with as agreed facts.
Justice Byrne adjourned the matter until March 18 when the first steps are likely to be made to allocate the trial a date

Judge Byrne says...."You are asking jurors to give up lengthy periods of their lives,"
what about the lengthy period Max Sica has been behind bars waiting for so called justice? It was ok for him to be persecuted all these years and be dragged through what i consider a living hell.
Max Sica was and has been the polices only suspect since day one,they didnt bother looking anywhere else, for them they had made up their minds there and then and have tried to build a case around that belief. There are so many injustices in this case that it makes the mind boggle.
As for the sex case, well it is a wonder that the charges were laid against him in the first place. If his name was not Max Sica, i dont think the case would have ever made it into a court room. (in this blog you will see for yourself the facts about the sex charges and other FACTS, notjust headlines)
It is a truly scary thought when anyone of you can be accused of a crime that you did not commit then have the whole weight of the law come down on you. Then you have to defend yourself and practically go broke in the process. Media play a huge role and i gather most people know how media operate, especially when a case of this magnitude presents itself to them. Read this blog, there is nothing fictitious about it, there are only facts, most of them from the committal hearings. This blog has not been written so you can think Max Sica is either guilty or innocent, it has been written so you can read ALL THE FACTS. Everyone will logicfally all have their own opinion, in the meantime Max Sica is fighting for his freedom, his life, and his innocence.

What about the lengthy period the family will spend without their children? (IE: the rest of their lives?!)
ReplyDeleteI will admit I don't know Max, though I have met him (not a pleasant experience).
Scientifically speaking he is more likely to be found 'not guilty' with a Judge only trial, as opposed to a jury trial, so that will definitely work in his favor if that is how things go.
I must admit, if you want your blog to be as powerful as you hope and to get your point across as much as you seem to try to, you should have someone proof read all of your work. Your poor grasp on the English language really detracts from what you are trying to say. Please have someone with a working knowledge of spelling, punctuation and grammar have a look over your posts before posting them, as the lack of 'sense' they make REALLY detracts from what you are trying to do. Please don't take that personally, but as a suggestion on how to make your point stronger.
I thank you very much for your suggestion, i do realize that my punctuation and grammar are not my forte`... but only for the sake of what this blog stands for (and not because i am in a competition for perfecting the written form of the English language) i will endeavor to better myself for the sake of making my point stronger and be properly understood.
ReplyDeleteYou admit that you do not know Max but then you say that you have met him and that it was not a pleasant experience for you... i find that somewhat of a contrast... you do not specify or give any reasoning for such a comment.
The Singh children were taken off this earth in a most horrendous, unspeakable act of pure evil, they deserve justice as so do other victims of heinous crimes. I am sure that all agree that if justice is to be had, the true culprit/s should pay for what they have done and go to jail for the rest of their lives.
Max Sica is no murderer, he is innocent and continues fighting for his freedom, his life and his innocence.
The header of this blog says it all, Max Sica is truly the forth victim in this tragedy. There is no greater injustice than an innocent person be put away for a crime they never committed. Sadly it happens, and all too often.
It is amazing that by just a glance at someones eyes at a gathering with many people and never knowing that person AT ALL, you can be so judgeamental and have such a strong opinion. If we all had your gift, we could pick all the criminals from the streets and put them away just by a glance at their eyes. There is nothing more i need to add to this as i find your comment to be totally pathetic.
ReplyDeleteBELOW IS YOUR COMMENT, YOU HAVE READ MY REPLY. GOOGLE ACCOUNT FOR ALL WHO WANT TO LEAVE COMMENT (SPAMMING PURPOSES)
ReplyDeleteLIKE I STATED ABOVE..... THERE IS NOTHING MORE I NEED TO ADD TO THIS...IT SPEAKS FOR ITSELF..
"You admit that you do not know Max but then you say that you have met him and that it was not a pleasant experience for you... i find that somewhat of a contrast": How is this a contrast? I DON'T know him personally, have not spent a lengthy period of time with him, though I HAVE met him and found him to be icy cold. He was at a "gathering" that I was at, I was aware he was there. I met MANY people that night, but the split second he made eye contact with me I did not need anyone to introduce us, as the chills I got told me who he was. His eyes were cold. You can say that is just 'bull sh*t' or what ever you like, but in my heart of hearts I KNEW with 100% certainty the minute he sleezed onto me that it was him. I don't meant to come across as argumentative and am simply stating MY opinion and MY feelings on the situation. Can I just say though, that just because you know him, doesn't mean he didn't do it. Every single murderer in the entire world KNOWS someone. Do you think THEY think their "friend", "loved one", etc is capable of murder? No. Of course not. If the argument of "I know him" worked, then every single murderer would be innocent because SOMEONE knows them!
