Common Sense Erupts in Justice System

From the ABC:

Chaser APEC charges 'could be dropped'

A Sydney court has heard that prosecutors are considering a request to drop charges against members of ABC TV's The Chaser's War on Everything.

On September 6, the comedy team allegedly breached APEC security by driving a fake motorcade into a restricted zone.

Eleven people were arrested and were charged with entering a secure area without justification, including Chas Licciardello, who sat in the back of one of the cars dressed as Osama bin Laden.

Today a police prosecutor told the Downing Centre Local Court that lawyers for the comedy team have asked for the charges to be withdrawn.

The police prosecutor said a decision had not yet been made.

The matter has been adjourned until January.

The accused members of the comedy team were not required to be in court today.
