BREAKING: There has been a major development in the case of former NRL star Jarryd Hayne, with a ruling handed down on Monday.

The Court of Criminal Appeal on Monday quashed his conviction and ordered that he face a retrial before the NSW District Court.

Jarryd Hayne was in May last year sentenced to spend at least three years and eight months in prison. Photo: Sam Mooy/Getty Images.A District Court jury in March last year found the former Dally M winner guilty of two counts of sexual assault, accepting the woman’s version of events that he performed digital and oral sex on her without her consent.

He launched an appeal against his conviction claiming the NSW District Court jury was given flawed directions and there were inconsistencies in the evidence. According to Hayne’s barrister, Judge Syme used words like “might” and “may” when she should have used “beyond a reasonable doubt”.
