Enjoy, Possumheart. Thanks very much for keeping everyone up-dated!I have to go eat lunch in a few minutes.
Justice Byrne is instructing the jury: the audio is the evidence, not the transcript. Transcript is an aid only.
Just for reference....there hasn't been an Audio recording presented to any court in Australia, from the Magistrates Court, to the County Court, to the Supreme Court, and including the Family Court, that hasn't been accompanied by the corresponding Transcript, since 1982, when the High Court made it mandatory.
Trying to get mileage out of an audio recording being paired with a transcript of the recording is taking redundancy to it's outer limit. It has always been the position of every court in AU that the audio is the evidence, the transcript is the aide-memoir. Nothing new here, as most folks would be aware.
No, I don't agree that Warriena was physically violent towards Tostee..
