Ralph Carr, a disgraced celebrity agent convicted of rape, is seeking a stay of proceedings in his case. His lawyer made an application to the court, arguing the case should be halted. The legal counsel drew a comparison between Carr’s situation and the last man to be hanged in Victoria, Australia, attempting to establish a historical precedent. Details of this historical comparison haven’t been fully released, but the lawyer believes it is relevant to Carr’s defense. The application for a stay suggests the defense is attempting a new legal strategy. The court will now consider whether to grant the stay and pause the ongoing legal proceedings against Carr.
