To be fair, his original defence was before her cross examination... She undid everything herself. Hard to rebuild from that.

I double checked and corrected it. It's what he would use informally as he associated "Investigator" with police. His title was Investigator, feeding Council Assisting, who supported the QC Chair.

Haha. My Father was a RC Investigator through the 90's in WA. Investigator is the term for all supporting council except the supporting Barristers to the QC Chair of the RC. I used to have to type his dictation until he leaned how to touch type! The problem with RC's is they can only present...

Structure of a debate - Tell people what you are going to argue, then argue the details, then summarise what you argued. We are still in Phase 1 (Telling people what is going to be argued.)

Or was just done with relationships... A much happier, peaceful place for a lot of men following this type of relationship.

Strategy wise, it would be best for Prosecution closing to really hit their straps tomorrow (Tuesday), and summarise Wednesday morning before handing over to the Defence closing to run Wednesday afternoon, and into Thursday or Friday. The logic for this is that jurors are most attentive...

I didn’t do it, that’s my plea, Though all the facts point back to me. If lies were coins, I’d be quite rich, With every tale a perfect glitch. The plate was black, or maybe red? Or kindergarten art instead? I served them all with love and flair, Except the ones I didn't spare. I Googled...

Once the prosecution finishes cross-examining a particular defence witness, the defence may conduct re-examination. - We are here. After the defence closes its case, the next phase depends on whether new matters have arisen. The rebuttal phase does not happen automatically. Instead: The...

10 pieces of steak purchased. 6 BW created. 4 fully eaten. 1/2 not eaten. 1 not touched (extra). 10 - 6 = 4 pieces of steak not used for BW. Kids fed leftovers from lunch, with mushrooms scraped off... Pastry and mushrooms found in bin, with some remaining meat. Where are the 4 remaining...

She has a recollection that can split hairs between 1:45pm, and 2pm... Quite extraordinary.

Yes, it’s actually part of standard court reporting etiquette. Because cameras are not permitted inside Australian courtrooms, describing what the accused is wearing helps paint a visual reference for readers. It adds a human detail to the reporting and complements the courtroom sketches...
