Constable Daniel Keneally found guilty of fabricating evidence

Constable Daniel Keneally, the son of former senator, Kristina Keneally, has been found guilty of fabricating evidence with the intent to mislead a judicial tribunal. The evidence that Keneally gave resulted in Luke Moore going to prison. However, Keneally's criminal defence lawyer said he is going to appeal today's decision.

Calling Newtown police station

Keneally stated that Moore made threats to the police in a telephone conversation. This statement led to Moore being wrongfully accused, and spending three weeks in prison.

At the time of the call, Constable Daniel Keneally worked a night shift at Newtown Police Station. Moore called the station to complain about police strip searches. However, Keneally took a detailed statement claiming that he had made threats to the police.
