Tom Silvagni appeals rape conviction over legal error

Tom Silvagni is appealing his rape conviction on grounds that Judge Gregory Lyon made a legal error during his trial. The 23-year-old's legal team argues the judge misclassified statements made in a phone conversation with his alleged victim as incriminating and wrongly instructed the jury on how to consider that evidence. Silvagni, son of AFL legend Steven and TV presenter Jo, was sentenced to six years and two months in December last year.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
