Jury in rape trial of Bruce Lehrmann discharged after trial is aborted over juror misconductlp

Really? ^^^^^ Roll Eyes

I omitted to add that the DPP will consider whether to go ahead, but I will be stunned if they do not.

Also, contrary to previously, Lehrmann is now on bail conditions....which is a bit of an indication about what the Judge reckons.

What a feast for all the lawyers?
A retrial so they get double paid -
maybe they could even go for a 3rd trial -
then an appeal -
then a high court challenge -
all over an alleged root.

I can almost hear the cash registers ringing. Grin

I saw it on ABC 24.

She outlined how it was her on trial and not the accused.
He could just sit there and say nothing.
She even had to show a lot of her
private emails and phone call, messaging information.
She was cross examined for 1 week.
To her it seems unfair.

What does that mean, 'unfair'?

She made a police complaint about a crime committed. She is the only witness.

How is it unfair that she provides all her evidence and faces cross-examination?

Did she think it was going to be wrapped in an hour like a TV police drama?

Why do you think?

To go as far as she could (or was asked to) to demonstrate to the court that she was not falsifying evidence or conspiring to egg-up the evidence.

Given a senior politician tried to crowbar her way into Higgins' testimony, it's more than appropriate she demonstrates she is not being coached.
