What he said was, he said, the acts relied upon for the attempting to pervert the course of justice charge all allegedly occurred after Isla Belle had died.
So some of those acts include allegedly concealing her remains after she died, putting her remains in a fridge, moving her body from the apartment, and then transporting it to addresses around Melbourne's southeast suburbs.
The prosecution also say Gagnev told lies to the police, and that's another element that they're including in this attempting to pervert the course of justice charge.
Does this go to a trial?
It will.
The only thing that would stop it from going to a trial is if Gagnev chooses to plead guilty at an earlier stage.
But now we're back into the process of we need to set some timetables for various material to be provided by both legal teams and then...
The judge has got to set a date for the trial and try and book that in and fit in with everyone's schedules.
You never want to predict what's going to happen in a case.
Of course, we don't even know if he's going to be found guilty or not.
But what we do know is that the stats from recent years, I think the periods 2019 to 2024 in Victoria, they show that people found guilty of this offence don't tend to get jail for more than
three or four years.
So the maximum penalty might be 25 years, but no one has got anywhere close to that in recent times.
And the other charge was fined, I think, $5,000.
And with manslaughter, the maximum penalty is actually the same, 25 years.
But what we've seen in recent times is that the sentences tend to be more than what we see for attempting to pervert the course of justice.
You're talking more like...
Eight to 10 years is more of a standard range for that charge.
Of course, it depends.
if he's found guilty, and if so, what the sentence is.
