We're experienced in fabricating evidence offences
If you’re facing fabricating evidence charges, it is crucial to engage our experienced team so that you can obtain the right advice and maximise your charges of a defence or reduced sentence.
Sections 126 of the Criminal Code Queensland states:
(1) Any person who, with intent to mislead any tribunal in any judicial proceeding-
(a) fabricates evidence by any means other than perjury or counselling or procuring the commission of perjury; or
(b) knowingly makes use of such fabricated evidence;
is guilty of a crime.
To prove this offence, the police need only show the court beyond a reasonable doubt that the accused acted with intent to mislead a tribunal, fabricates evidence by means not perjury or that the accused acted with intent to mislead a tribunal and knowingly makes use of such fabricated evidence.
