MORE DELAYS IN HOUSTON DRUGS CASE
Court proceedings in the drug case against former Newcastle Knight, Chris Houston, have been delayed yet again.
Houston appeared before Newcastle Local Court today, where members of his legal team asked for more time to consider the Crown’s case.
They claim prosecutors have dramatically changed their approach, after submitting late material.
Houston is accused of supplying a large amount of ecstasy tablets on two occasions in September last year.
The case against his co-accused, Steven Stefanovski, has also been further delayed for the same reasons.
Magistrate Elaine Truscott expressed her frustration, labelling constant prosecution legal team changes as “appalling”.
The pair is due back in court next month.
