Daniel Keneally convicted of fabricating evidence

Daniel Keneally, the son of former NSW Labor premier Kristina Keneally, has been found guilty of fabricating evidence.

The worst thing a police officer can do in their job is to unlawfully kill another person. Besides that, fabricating evidence in order to have someone convicted of a serious offence and/or imprisoned would have to be among the worst things police officers can do.

Such awful breaches of the trust and authority placed in police officers are not unknown. Some of the most famous criminal law cases have involved police officers framing or being accused of framing innocent people, the Guildford Four and the Perth Mint Swindle are two notorious examples.

Constable Daniel Keneally was charged in October last year with fabricating evidence following a telephone conversation in February 2021 with a man named Luke Moore. Keneally had subsequently submitted a report that Moore was threatening to kill a police officer, which resulted in Moore being charged with using a carriage service to menace and threaten to kill,  and refused bail, resulting in him spending time in jail for three weeks.

Moore had fortunately recorded his discussion with Keneally jnr, and that recording showed that Keneally’s report was false.

NSW Downing Centre Local Court Magistrate Rodney Brender earlier this week found the charge had been proven. Keneally jnr will be sentenced next month.

Now that the trial has concluded, we can exclusively share the primary materials that demonstrate Constable Keneally’s shameful conduct.
