'Network Ten’s barrister, Matt Collins KC, played extensive CCTV footage to the court which showed Higgins and Lehrmann socialising and drinking on a Friday night after work with other parliamentary staffers.
The court heard the footage showed Higgins had consumed six spirit-based drinks in the Canberra bar, two of which were bought for her by Lehrmann.'
The girl dropped her shoes and panties and lay down naked as did all the other pollies and drunks. There was no raping, let's face it, who likes nude flesh anyway?
She threw back six that they could see - and two of those were bought by Bruce. Was it a shout? Did he buy a drink for anyone else? Did she sneak any more? Did anyone else buy her a drink? Who paid for the other four drinks seen?
According to herself she wore no panties on that night... Canberra Summer time... fair enough, otherwise it's Eskimo time...
Security person - couple of hours after Bruce left, saw her on couch with dress pulled up and no panties.... (and?????) ... second 'check', apparently a quick look from the door as usual with a Mile High assignation, no 'sniff test' or anything for sexual engagement etc (which is rape if she is drunk, under ACT law) couple of hours later again and she was 'naked' according to signed statement.
The tooth fairy removed her clothing.... so - if she removed her own clothing in full at some time in the interim between 'checks' (again - does she sleep naked so it was 'normal'?) .... what possible bearing does her state of dress have on anything?
Yet the 'judge' relies entirely on one thing to say 'he was so overcome with lust that he was going to have his way even when there is no evidence that he did!'... not one shred of substantial evidence.
This is a travesty. I'll bet countless 'fellow judges' - a highly suspect lot - are ribbing Lee unmercifully over a glass of whiskey at their private club over that one!! And talking behind his wimpy back about it.....
All Bruce needs at this appeal is a genuine Judge to do his job.... for the pain this has caused... he should be paid millions.
