Paraphrasing some of article below:
There were dramatic scenes in the closed courtroom during one of many breaks in testimony, with former NSW homicide detective Gary Jubelin arguing forcefully for his right to defend his three-year investigation.
Mr Jubelin, whose 30-year career with NSW homicide imploded over his handling of the Tyrrell case, became infuriated after sitting through an hour’s evidence about the investigation he once led, in particular his repeated interrogation of an elderly man who lives on the street from which William disappeared. Paul Joseph Savage, 74, willingly took part in interviews, telling police he’d done no more on the morning of William’s disappearance than have tea and toast for breakfast; speak to his brother, who was in Casino hospital, by phone; and help his wife, Heather, clean up the kitchen.
He agreed during questioning at the inquest yesterday that he was outside his house about 10.38am on the day, waving off Heather as she headed to bingo.
That would place him on the street about the time William was out of his foster mother’s sight.
He had previously been pursued as a possible person of interest by Mr Jubelin, who stands accused of recording interviews with him without a warrant.
There is no suggestion Mr Savage remains a person of interest to the Tyrrell investigation.
He was quizzed about his movements during that period yesterday as he came face to face with Mr Jubelin in the courtroom.
........
Mr Jubelin is fighting charges against him, saying he had an “operational reason” to record a conversation with Mr Savage.
He has resigned from the police force but is keen to give evidence to the coronial inquiry.
...........
His frustration became apparent during a break in proceedings when he was seen having an argument with counsel assisting the coroner, Gerard Craddock.
The five-minute quarrel ended with Mr Jubelin striding from the court, fists clenched by his sides
