Gunfight At The QC Corral
Another article. Not sure if it's been posted yet but it is quite interesting in that it talks about one of the high-profile legal cases LR was previously involved with.
Oh, it also says that Judge Brian Martin presided over the Snowtown barrel murders case as well as the Bradley Murdoch trial.

Some excerpts from the article relating to LR and this trial:-
"In his eulogy at his wife's funeral, he wiped a tear as he recalled ''love at first sight'' when he spotted Corryn at the Australian Government Solicitor's Office in the late 1980s. Three weeks later, police broke down his door in Como, executing a search warrant for evidence that Rayney was illegally taping his late wife's telephone calls."
"He was charged with wire tampering under the Surveillance Services Act. Detective Jack Lee named Rayney as the prime suspect in killing his own wife. Rayney's lawyers issued stinging denials. Lee was transferred to the Pilbara town of Karratha. Rayney went public with his anguish: ''It took more than 20 years to build my career and reputation and less than 20 minutes to destroy it.''
He sued the police over the statements alleging he was the prime and only suspect."
"Rayney was described as an expert in forensic evidence, an accomplished card player who knew every trick in the book. He will need to play every card perfectly against wily prosecutor John Agius. He has a perfect poker face."
"The Crown case is a circumstantial case: they must prove it beyond reasonable doubt. The pattern of coincidences must point reliably to guilt and no other hypothesis. As I have said before, coincidence is God's way of remaining anonymous.
The defamation cases have been delayed until after the trial."
