In one instance in September 2018,Elliott was caught by police with a bag of methamphetamine hidden in his underwear. Officers also found a ziplock bag full of cannabis in the foot well of the car he was travelling in with three associates. Elliott claimed the drugs were his.
His lawyer,Una Ebsworth,told the court that Elliott’s conditions in custody were onerous and argued for any additional sentencing to be served at the same time as his existing life sentence.
She said Elliott was being held in isolation at a long-term management unit at Barwon Prison due to a shortage of suitable arrangements,which meant he had limited access to outdoors,programs and conversation.
“He spent the entirety of the pandemic in a custodial facility. He had no access to in-person visits during this period of time,” Ebsworth said. “He’s been in a state of suspense around finalisation of his trial[for the Prahran shooting].”
