  In November 2008, Gordon Wood was found guilty of throwing his girlfriend Caroline Byrne to her death at The Gap at Watson's Bay, Sydney, in 1995. Mark Tedeschi, QC, was the Senior Crown Prosecutor during this trial. In December 2008, Wood was sentenced by Justice Graham Barr in the N.S.W. Supreme Court to 17 years and four months in jail, with a non-parole period of 13 years.
  
  An appeal was expected to be lodged by Wood against his conviction in March 2010.
