Ugh Brookies finally done. Our long (inter)national nightmare has ended

Thank god. I thought it would never end.

Finally, defence lawyer Ian Brookie tells the jury: "If you go about your task calmly, consciously and logically you will get this right.''

"This is not a murder, it is a tragic, unforeseen accident."

"The activities these two people did, after getting on like a house on fire during a date, were consensual activities. A bit drunker and inexperienced than they should have been. The evidence I have submitted to you is consistent with that," he says.

Brookie says if the jury has any doubts they can't dismiss, or if any part of them is unsure, then the community requires them to acquit the defendant of murder.

"If that is the conclusion, you haven't done anything wrong," he tells them.

"I invite you to return a not guilty verdict of murder."

The defence rests.
