Strategic Assessment
Complete
Recommendation: Accept with negotiation. For a first offender charged with possession of 4.2g MDMA in the NSW District Court, comparable outcomes from AustLII sentencing remarks (2022-2025) show a 72% probability of a non-custodial outcome on a guilty plea. The Crown's offer of a 12-month ICO sits within the median range but is negotiable given the personal use quantity and absence of prior record. Consider seeking a section 9 bond or CCO. Key comparable: R v Nguyen [2024] NSWDC 187 — similar facts, s.9 granted.

Court Intelligence Profile
Complete
NSW District Court — commercial drug supply. Based on 89 published sentencing remarks (2022-2025), this court imposes full-time custody in 68% of matters where commercial purpose is established, with a median head sentence of 3.8 years. The 25% early plea discount is consistently applied. The court responds well to Bugmy/Verdins submissions where cognitive impairment is medically evidenced. Matters with strong rehabilitation evidence show a non-parole period reduction in 41% of cases.

Recommended conditions package. Given the Supreme Court jurisdiction and s.95 charge, a show cause obligation applies under s.16A Bail Act 2013. The strongest grounds are: residential surety (propose parent at established address), reporting condition (daily to Parramatta Police), and curfew 9pm-6am. The prior breach in 2021 must be addressed directly. Prosecution will rely on flight risk and victim safety — counter with proposed no-contact undertaking and GPS monitoring.

Sentencing Analysis
Complete
Sentencing range: 12 to 30 months, most likely 18 months with NPP. Supply of 18g cocaine (small commercial quantity threshold is 250g) places this in the lower-mid range. AustLII review of 28 comparable matters shows median head sentence of 20 months, with 61% receiving full-time custody at first offence. Key submission points: Veen (No.2) — proportionality; Bugmy — subjective circumstances; 25% discount available for early guilty plea. Recommend tendering psychological report re: financial hardship and drug dependency context.
The problem

Criminal defence demands real intelligence. Now you have it.

Every matter demands thorough preparation. The research, the case law, the sentencing data, the judicial intelligence — it all takes time that most practitioners simply do not have.

  • Hours spent searching AustLII, BAILII, or CanLII for comparable sentencing remarks, often without a clear result
  • Bail applications drafted from memory when the facts demand fresh, court-specific submissions
  • Plea advice given without statistical grounding — relying on instinct instead of comparable outcomes
  • Judicial intelligence accumulated slowly and painfully over years of courtroom experience

How it works

01
Select your jurisdiction
Choose your jurisdiction once. All outputs, including courts, legislation, sentencing references, and legal databases, are automatically calibrated to your practice context.
02
Enter the matter facts
Type, dictate, or upload the relevant facts. The tool searches live case law databases, extracts real sentencing remarks, and applies your jurisdiction's current frameworks.

A note on how this works. Acquit Intel uses AI to search live legal databases, synthesise case law, and generate analysis. Every output includes citations that should be independently verified before use in court proceedings. The tool is designed to accelerate your research and sharpen your strategy. It does not replace professional legal judgment, and it is not a substitute for your experience in the courtroom.
