An accused person in Queensland is entitled but not compelled to attend a jury view, because s 52(2) of the Jury Act 1995 (Qld) operates as an exception to s 617(1) of the Criminal Code 1899 (Qld). If a trial judge erroneously compels attendance, the proviso in s 668E(1A) may apply where the jury received comprehensive directions to decide the case on the evidence alone. The meaning of 'likely' in the definition of 'grievous bodily harm' in s 1 of the Criminal Code is a 'substantial or real chance' as distinct from a mere possibility, and does not require that the outcome be more probable than not. For sentencing, the range for intentionally causing grievous bodily harm by use of a motor vehicle as a weapon, with racial motivation, is 10 to 13 years for a young offender.
