McGee prosecution case could be dismissed, magistrate warns. 26/04/2006. ABC News Online:
An Adelaide magistrate has warned that the case against lawyer Eugene McGee and his brother is in danger of collapse. Fifty-two-year-old Eugene Norman McGee and 55-year-old Craig Patrick McGee are alleged to have perverted the course of justice in the hours after cyclist Ian Humphrey was hit and killed in November 2003. Today Magistrate Fred Field said the prosecution has not provided enough information about the offence to the defence.

He warned that if there is not a more satisfactory response, then it is possible he will find that the proceedings should be dismissed.

Magistrate Field adjourned the matter for a month to give the prosecution more time.

The McGee brothers were charged because of recommendations from the Kapunda Road Royal Commission.”
