in favor of the respondent (Cunneen), that the conduct was not corrupt within the meaning of the ‘ICAC Act’. Subsequently, amendments were made to the ICAC Act, resulting in the Independent Commission Against Corruption Amendment Act 2015 (NSW) (‘ICAC Act’). Mark Tedeschi AM QC is another high-profile Senior Crown Prosecutor who has faced accusations and allegations for misconduct and malicious prosecution. Tedeschi was a regarded Crown Prosecutor, securing convictions in high-profile trials of Ivan Milat, the political assassin Phuong Ngo and the infamous case of the baby killer Keli Lane. Nevertheless, during the appeal of Gordon Wood's murder conviction, the appeal judges issued scathing commentary on the conduct of Tedeschi during the trial as they threw out Mr. Wood's murder conviction.
