Nice to see some videos on Australian Law. I am a person with a non law background, but browsing legal content out of interest. Most of the stuff is US based (e.g.CourtTV - they have recorded jury trials, but we do not in Australia). Interesting to see that most of the concepts and procedures are 90 - 95% similar, but there are some slight differences.
Like in USA 'Admission by Conduct' (fleeing or destroying evidence) is referred to as 'Consciousness of Guilt Evidence'.

'The plea bargain system doesn't happen anywhere near it does in US' - mmm interested to hear about this difference.
Many trials I see on CourtTV have criminals asking for 'deals' and 'jailhouse snitches' etc.

Hi Bob, yes, I'd agree that many of the processes are very similar between Australia and the US, although their system of rights is different to ours, and their version of federation much more tilted towards the states. And they elect their judges, which is truly awful and frightening.

If admissions refer to civil cases, why site criminal cases to explain it i.e Rumping v DPP

[@AnthsLawSchool]

Great question - the answer is simply that the criminal cases are still the ones referred to as the authorities in civil matters
