The man charged with the murder of 17-year-old Pheobe Bishop has had his case adjourned until February, due to a breakdown of the defence server where the brief of evidence was held.<\/p>\n
James Wood, 34, has been charged with murder and two counts of interfering with a corpse, as well as unrelated weapons charges.<\/p>\n
Ms Bishop went missing from Bundaberg in May sparking a large search when she failed to board a scheduled flight to Brisbane.<\/p>\n
Her body was found weeks later in Goodnight Scrub National Park about an hour south-west of Bundaberg.<\/p>\n

In the Bundaberg Magistrates Court on Monday, Mr Wood’s defence lawyer Matt Maloy asked for the case to be adjourned until February because the defence team had lost thousands of pages of the prosecution’s evidence when its computer servers crashed.<\/p>\n
“The service it’s on collapsed, so they’ve had to reissue a full brief of evidence and it’s still going through,” Mr Maloy said.<\/p>\n
Police prosecutor Sergeant Donna Sperling said the brief had already been disclosed, but it had to be re-disclosed.<\/p>\n
“They had it for a while, then it broke, so they had played [viewed] it several times,” Sergeant Sperling said.<\/p>\n
Mr Maloy said the brief was many thousands of pages and said they had not viewed it many times.<\/p>\n
Magistrate Cameron McKenzie granted the adjournment.<\/p>\n

Her case was also mentioned in the Bundaberg Magistrates Court, where it was adjourned to January next year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The man charged with the murder of 17-year-old Pheobe Bishop has had his case adjourned until February, due…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":258986,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[64,63,62897,152503,152502,1108,134,46655,17855,2968,152500,69564,152501,12628,21331],"class_list":{"0":"post-258985","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-entertainment","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-bundaberg","11":"tag-bundaberg-magistrates-court","12":"tag-corpse","13":"tag-court","14":"tag-entertainment","15":"tag-gin-gin","16":"tag-james-wood","17":"tag-murder","18":"tag-murdered","19":"tag-pheobe-bishop","20":"tag-tankika-bromley","21":"tag-teenager","22":"tag-wide-bay"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/258985","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=258985"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/258985\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/258986"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=258985"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=258985"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=258985"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
