The Justice for David Dungay Junior campaign held a press conference last Friday in the Domain-Djarrbarrgalli to announce that criminal barrister Phillip Boulten SC has issued a detailed advice outlining that there's potential for charges to be laid in regard to David Dungay's death in custody.

The prominent barrister is of the opinion that there's enough evidence available to see manslaughter and/or assault charges laid against some of the guards involved in the incident that saw David Dungay killed.

Mr Boulten set out that there was no lawful excuse for the guards to have stormed the cell Mr Dungay was occupying and to have applied such force in restraining him.

The barrister further stated that there's a reasonable chance that if charges are laid, convictions will follow.
