Judgement for the case R v Bryce

Table Of Contents

  • Defendant drove X to a campsite where X killed V. At the time of Defendant’s transporting him, X had not made up his mind as to whether to carry out the murder.

  • Defendant contended that his conviction of murder was flawed on the basis that at the time of his act the principal had not fully decided to murder.

  • CA dismissed this.

    • CA ruled that to assist an offence Defendant 2 has to intentionally do an act that will help Defendant 1 commit an offence that Defendant 2 knows or believes there to be a possibility of Defendant 1 committing.

    • In order for D2 to escape liability he has to withdraw from the JCV and do something to counteract his earlier assistance.

    • Simple repentance is not enough.
