澳大利亚上诉法院于7月31日推翻了新州地方法院的一项决定，裁定一段视频证据可在两名前悉尼班克斯敦医院护士的案件中作为呈堂证供[1]。Sarah Abu Lebdeh和Ahmad Rashad Nadir两人被控在2025年2月通过视频聊天应用Chatruletka与以色列网红Max Ilinsky进行骚扰和威胁[1]。其中Abu Lebdeh另被控威胁使用暴力针对一个群体[1]。两人均不认罪[1]。
新州地方法院上月曾裁定该视频应被排除，理由涉及隐私法的相关规定[1]。检控方随后成功上诉推翻该决定。检控官Paul Holdenson KC主张："陪审团只有在能看到和听到对话内容、理解语调、肢体语言和表情时，才能正确理解案情"[1]。两名护士在事件后被开除[1]，审讯定于2026年8月底进行[1]。
An Australian appeals court has reversed a lower court ruling and determined that video evidence is admissible in the case against two former Bankstown Hospital nurses.[1] Sarah Abu Lebdeh and Ahmad Rashad Nadir face charges of using a communications service to harass and threaten an Israeli content creator through the Chatruletka video chat application in February 2025.[1] Abu Lebdeh additionally faces allegations of threatening to use violence against a group.[1] Both defendants have pleaded not guilty.[1]
The New South Wales District Court had ruled last month that the video should be excluded, but the appeals court overturned that decision on July 31.[1] Prosecutor Paul Holdenson KC argued that "the jury can only properly understand the case if they are able to see and hear the conversation, understand the tone, body language and facial expressions."[1] Following the incident, both nurses were dismissed from their positions.[1] The trial is scheduled to commence in late August 2026.[1]
