NSW: Shaw pleads guilty to negligent driving

Former NSW Supreme Court judge JEFF SHAW has pleaded guilty to negligent driving in
relation to an accident near his Sydney home last year.

But his lawyer ARTHUR MOSES says his client is in ongoing discussions with the Director
of Public Prosecutions over a separate charge of drink driving.

SHAW was charged after an accident outside his Birchgrove home, in Sydney's inner west,
on October the 13th, 2004.

A Police Integrity Commission inquiry was held late last year after it was found SHAW'S
blood sample, which was meant to be alcohol tested by police, was in his possession.

The matter will next be mentioned at the Downing Centre Local Court on March the 18th.
