A prolonged course of intimidating, harassing and threatening conduct by a neighbour over two and a half years, including following, staring, verbal abuse, aggressive confrontations, and attempts to interfere with the sale of the victim's property, is capable of constituting unlawful stalking under s 359B of the Criminal Code (Qld). A sentence of 15 months' imprisonment suspended after five months is within the permissible range for such conduct. A juror who unequivocally declares inability to be impartial may be discharged under s 56(1)(a) of the Jury Act without discharging the entire jury, provided there is no basis to conclude the juror's concerns have been communicated to other jurors.
