The trial of the man accused of raping former Liberal staffer Brittany Higgins inside Parliament House in 2019 will go ahead as planned after the ACT Supreme Court dismissed his application to halt proceedings.
Bruce Lehrmann had asked the court for a permanent stay on his charges, and if that failed, a temporary stay.The trial is expected to run for around six weeks.
I didn't realise he was a league player. Makes sense, allegedly.
Innocent until proven guilty obviously. Frankly, given that Miss Higgins is a fatty and attention queen, I'm inclined to believe the innocent man!
Justice, Common sense have at last prevailed. Pop corn and comfy chair time
This trial will be interesting.
Good
He definitely looks like guilty… could just be he’s holding an NRL trophy though
It’s worth remembering that Scott Morrison and his entire team (incl all of the women) afforded more care to an alleged rapist then to the victim. In the words of Brittany Higgins - I felt sick to my stomach.
But he’s already been trialed by media and little angry Gracey
It's Brittany, Bitch
GOOD!

Teen goes on trial for murdering 18-year-old at Canberra skate parkAn ACT Supreme Court jury hears an 18-year-old man who died in a fight at the Weston Creek Skate Park in 2020 was stabbed six times. Sadly, they've taken a life and done so as a juvenile so unfortunately will be tried as one. Let's hope the appropriate justice is meted out. The sentence needs to fit the crime. This is why other Australian cities don't have as many parks. I’ll be interested to hear what the outcome is of this.

Don’t forget ‘human experience’ of court: chief justiceChief Justice James Allsop has said there would be clear lines about when cases were conducted online or in person, with most pre-trial hearings going remote. How about the victims experience, remember that. 🤦 They key priority is getting through the backlog caused by lockdowns, whatever it takes. There’s more than 100,000 family & domestic violence cases outstanding, caused by lockdowns, and this is mostly affecting Women & children. Negatively.
