Justice Harrison says he accepts “for the purposes of these proceedings that Chris Dawson was a person of prior good character”. Mr Dawson had no prior criminal history.

Judge is not very complimentary re the NSW coppers who 'investigated ' Lynn's disappearance..

NSW police have a pretty stinky track record.

Let's not miss the DPP though in this instance they were stinkier still.......
someone dodged a bullet there......

eta (lloyd babb for those wondering...looking at you)

Judge confirmed the poolside/trampoline incident and bruises on Lyn’s neck as unreliable

 

[Cagney&Lacey]

Judge does not give acceptance to Miss Oakes Wildly evidence (not sure of spelling)

If I was CD's lawyer I would be mortified by the Judges comments about everything she has missed!

Judge confirmed the poolside/trampoline incident and bruises on Lyn’s neck as unreliable

thought he was satisfied earlier that incident was legit.
hmmm

The binder is getting thin... we must be near the end of this!

hmmm

The judge plainly didn't write his entire submission on the same day and seems to have varied from day to day in his view on certain things. Should have had it proof read - LOL.

Poor judge is looking a bit scruffy, his robes are slipping

The binder is getting thin... we must be near the end of this!

Need the camera to pan in so we can see the page numbers (eg page 207 of 210)

 

[drsleuth]

Gee, I hope we don't get to 4 o'clock & the courts shut & they come back tomorrow

 

[k-mac]

getting close to an irish coffee......

 

[drsleuth]

I can't imagine who hard this waiting would be for the family.......

 

[drsleuth]

Here we go........I think

 

[Trooper]

It's a huge leap. Dawson and Joanne, and Lynns disappearance presented as coincidence... Not something I can believe.

 

[K_i_w_i]

Here we go!

 

[Trooper]

The judge has found that Lynn is indeed dead. That she was not voluntarily a runaway wife, quite the contrary. She loved her home, her kids and even her husband. SO that part of it is out of the way.

The Teacher's Pet podcast under the spotlight
By Freya Noble14:46
Justice Harrison is examining the impact of The Australian newspaper's podcast - The Teacher's Pet - on the case.
The podcast series was downloaded more than 60 million times worldwide and helped bring Lynette Dawson's disappearance back into the public spotlight.
Two full episodes were tendered to court and the podcast's creator, Hedley Thomas, was called as a witness to the trial.
Justice Harrison said the series represented a "less than balanced view".
