I thought I would check the next phase. Looks like it is soon.


I expected the next phases to be verdict and sentencing.

I wonder why they are a Mention and a Readiness Hearing. I thought (according to online definitions) that readiness hearings were to ensure everyone was ready for trial.

But as the appearances are on the next two Fridays, I guess we will find out soon.

I was assuming this was the Carnal Knowledge charge. The date being 2019 not 2018 when the other charges were.
Confirmed from a previous post.

Does any further information become available when you click on the R v CHRISTOPHER MICHAEL DAWSON hotlink??
I pasted the next couple of dates so no further information. I think it had the last couple of days of trial.


This is the direct link. I searched for Christopher Michael Dawson. Alternatively you can search on case number which is 2019/00191658 and check for all available dates. If you search under his name you will get the last couple of days of the murder trial.

I wonder why The Teachers Trial have not put out a new episode yet ? Maybe they have to be very careful in reporting the defence case.

The episode cycle seems to have been each weekend. Hopefully the wait won't be much longer.

Another oldie but goodie, particularly in light of potential cases against those lawbreaking teachers :


"As many as 6 teachers at a Sydney school were sleeping with their teenage students, according to a former pupil. One even climbed through a schoolgirl’s window at night."

“The culture at the school was such that there were groups of male teachers, in their 20s and 30s who preyed on young girls at the school — 15, 16, 17-year-old girls.”

Chris #Dawson’s carnal knowledge trial has been delayed after a court heard the verdict in his murder case may not be delivered until September. His barrister also promoted to a judge. The 2nd trial relates to alleged illegal sex with his schoolgirl lover in 1980.

Time will tell what the verdict is in Chris Dawson's murder trial but the carnal knowledge matter should be a slam dunk.

Pauline David, on behalf of CD in the murder trial admitted CD was 'having an affair with JC', and as we know JC turned 18 AFTER Lyn disappeared.

Not sure how CD's plea in the carnal knowledge matter can be anything other than guilty?

It will be about when this occurred. A teacher relationship with a student at 17 legally there is nothing wrong in 1980. At 16 there was. The defence I assume will argue about timing. The offence is above 10 to less than 17. This is describe on page 5 of the PDF. So it is about offences occurring in 1980 and early 1981.

"Three new appointments at NSW District Court

Huw Baker, William Fitzsimmons, and Pauline David are three lawyers who have been appointed to the New South Wales District Court.

NSW attorney-general Mark Speakman called each practitioner highly skilled.

“In carrying out their duties as District Court judges, they will each continue to draw on the considerable skill, experience and knowledge they have gained as lawyers, for the benefit of the court and the community it serves,” Speakman said.

Baker will be sworn in on July 21, Fitzsimmons on July 28, and David on August 1. "

Good pick up. But truly horrendous to think that the laws of the day allowed a teacher, regardless of their age, to have sex with with 17 year old students.

I don't really call that fighting for your marriage. :rolleyes:
no not even close.
Her words have no meaning.
submissive and enabling be closer to the mark Marilyn.

It is bizarre but listening to it 4 years after hearing it the original time when Marilyn Dawson said it somehow it seemed more genuine albeit naive. I think Marilyn actually thought that Lyn had a chance of saving her marriage.
Makes me wonder how volatile MD's marriage may be.

Any self respecting woman would have encouraged Lyn to leave the dirtbag as she deserved better. IMO

The latest version of the Teacher's Trial Podcast is available. "The Defence Closes"

"Chris Dawson is a man of good character..." sorry I would type more because I am laughing too much. Maybe they were talking about W.A.'s new Governor.

..at 1:26:30 ...ttt podcast
..talking about how soon after Lyn disappeared did CD and JC resume their sexual relationship...the defence sounding non-committal.. .
Judge: Well, i've asked the question...

I got a warm feeling the judge is preparing for what we all hope.
