The group was denied entry to most of the bars they visited except for one where they drank mixed drinks, they then took a taxi on Darlinghurst Road; the offender's estimate of shots was unlikely. Evidence shows that the offender was drunk by 7 pm on July 7, 2012.

Due to intoxication, the offender, friends, and associates attempted to enter another bar while agitated and uncontrollable. Marco Compagnoni, the first assault victim, suffered bodily harm after the offender elbowed him; no stitches were required. Thomas Kelly and his friends unintentionally approached Marco Compagnoni's assault location, unaware of the danger.

Thomas Kelly is knocked down by the offender's punch. Witnesses disagree about Thomas Kelly's fall, with one describing a face-first impact and the other a backwards impact. Offender appears angry and intoxicated, he flees revealing guilt.

After assaulting Thomas Kelly, the perpetrator punched Matthew Serrao, Rhyse Saliba, and Aden Gazi unprovokedly, causing pain and bruising. Police break up the violent confrontation between victims and the offender while also identifying the offender's alcohol use and aggression.

In the case of Tara Brown’s murder, various groups of individuals are affected. As well as maintaining principles of fair punishment and deterrence, the criminal justice system has to consider perceptions of the victim’s family (secondary victim), the community’s demand for crime prevention, and the offender’s rights to a fair court hearing. The most likely outcome is imprisonment for Lionel John Patea due to committing an indictable offence. It is important to note that if this was only a case of domestic abuse without murder, it would utilise more time, effort and expenses to come to a resolution. This is due to the different circumstances and degree of abuse that the judge has to assess.

The case of R. v. Schoenborn is a troubling case involving the death of three children and the defence of not criminally responsible on account of mental disorder. This defence must be critically analyzed along with the evidence and expert opinions as it could absolve the accused of the charges. As well, the precedent that the verdict provides is critical to the legal system and its future implication and thus give the decision more importance. After a thorough examination of the facts, it is evident that the verdict of the Supreme Court of British Columbia is correct and reflects the administration’s objectives and beliefs.

The defence will raise the inconsistencies created by Jame’s statement that the attacker spoke of “Phil” yet there is no evidence that there was any connection between Philip and Ian. There is no evidence that directly connects Ian to the attack itself nor any connection of his screwdriver to the attack weapon. Did Ian intend to cause grievous bodily harm? The prosecution theory of a burglary-gone-wrong and thus intent formulating out of surprise and panic is very circumstantial, placing heavy reliance on impaired judgement caused by synthetic cannabis.
