Adam John Wilkins' Oxley Vale drug case adjourned in Tamworth court

Tamworth Local Court heard prosecutors were no longer seeking a report into the seriousness of the drug allegedly uncovered during a raid in Tamworth more than a year ago.

Aboriginal Legal Service defence solicitor Courtney Edstein said the issue could be the "single most important" one in the case against Adam John Wilkins.

Although the matter had been marked that it must proceed, magistrate Julie Soars agreed to adjourn the matter for pleas to be entered.

Less than a month before the latest court mention, the prosecutor had said an analysis was being undertaken about the purity of the alleged drug.

Wilkins will front court again next week.
