WEBVTT

00:00:13.480 --> 00:00:15.719
But first we cross to reporter, Ben tan,

00:00:15.720 --> 00:00:19.679
for the first day of the murder trial
that not everyone agrees is a murder.

00:00:19.720 --> 00:00:21.519
Members of the jury panel,
if your number's drawn,

00:00:21.520 --> 00:00:23.479
please stand and make
your way to the jury box.

00:00:23.480 --> 00:00:25.839
Six, one, zero, one, seven.

00:00:25.840 --> 00:00:28.999
Anyone else feel like
they're at a 12-step meeting?

00:00:29.000 --> 00:00:30.639
Oh, how was the jury duty thing?

00:00:30.640 --> 00:00:32.119
Did you get out of it? Yeah.

00:00:32.120 --> 00:00:33.159
They let you off?

00:00:33.160 --> 00:00:34.239
You don't have to be here.

00:00:34.240 --> 00:00:35.679
I can't be anywhere else.

00:00:35.680 --> 00:00:38.559
Are you sure that they're not going
to bring up what we spoke about?

00:00:38.560 --> 00:00:39.839
I got selected for jury duty.

00:00:39.840 --> 00:00:42.399
This won't stop you
coming to my night classes.

00:00:42.400 --> 00:00:44.439
Two nights a week.

00:00:44.440 --> 00:00:47.199
Someone's gotta do the paperwork,
or else we might spook the buyers.

00:00:47.200 --> 00:00:48.239
I'm on the jury.

00:00:48.240 --> 00:00:49.679
Did you get put on that jury after all?

00:00:49.680 --> 00:00:51.560
I was gonna tell you. When?

00:00:53.400 --> 00:00:54.379
Jamie.

00:00:54.480 --> 00:00:58.039
There is no real evidence
and there is no body.

00:01:25.500 --> 00:01:26.500
Hey.

00:01:32.140 --> 00:01:33.180
Did you get any sleep?

00:01:37.220 --> 00:01:38.220
Me neither.

00:01:46.620 --> 00:01:48.299
Try to look human for
the crew, will you, mate?

00:01:48.300 --> 00:01:49.340
* off.

00:01:51.140 --> 00:01:53.459
Fellas.

00:01:53.460 --> 00:01:56.819
Hey, luiz. Hey.

00:01:56.820 --> 00:01:58.219
Key for lift.

00:01:58.220 --> 00:02:02.699
, my friend. I bring for you.

00:02:02.700 --> 00:02:03.860
Salute.

00:02:20.460 --> 00:02:21.460
Morning.

00:02:24.700 --> 00:02:27.259
-I told you to clean up the books, you idiot.
-Oh, here we go.

00:02:27.260 --> 00:02:29.139
We get caught paying
cash in hand to illegals,

00:02:29.140 --> 00:02:30.419
we can kiss the deal goodbye.

00:02:30.420 --> 00:02:31.899
We're not gonna get caught.

00:02:31.900 --> 00:02:33.539
No. No we're not, mate.

00:02:33.540 --> 00:02:35.539
'Cause that shit ends today. That shit?

00:02:35.540 --> 00:02:37.659
That shit that dad taught us?

00:02:37.660 --> 00:02:40.099
That shit that fed and
clothed your hairy *?

00:02:40.100 --> 00:02:42.699
Don't give me that sentimental bullshit.

00:02:42.700 --> 00:02:44.899
Listen, mate, I'll be * if
I'm gonna meet the deadline

00:02:44.900 --> 00:02:46.819
on this next stage, if
you're off on jury duty.

00:02:46.820 --> 00:02:48.779
Being late won't blow the * deal.

00:02:48.780 --> 00:02:50.979
Getting shut down by worksafe will.

00:02:50.980 --> 00:02:52.899
Listen, mate, if you're gonna nag me,

00:02:52.900 --> 00:02:55.059
you better be giving out
gobbies on Friday night

00:02:55.060 --> 00:02:56.179
because you know what?

00:02:56.180 --> 00:02:57.620
Helen could really use a break.

00:03:01.380 --> 00:03:03.699
Sort it out. Now.

00:03:03.700 --> 00:03:05.379
I want him gone, flip,

00:03:05.380 --> 00:03:06.940
and anyone else here who shouldn't be.

00:03:11.420 --> 00:03:12.979
Oh, what am I, hey?

00:03:12.980 --> 00:03:14.939
A tele-*-marketer or something?

00:03:14.940 --> 00:03:16.619
Allen, you nearly gave me a heart attack man.

00:03:16.620 --> 00:03:17.699
Don't screen my calls, mate.

00:03:17.700 --> 00:03:19.139
I'm thinking you're * avoiding me.

00:03:19.140 --> 00:03:20.339
Oh no, I've been pretty caught up

00:03:20.340 --> 00:03:22.219
with this whole jury duty trial thing.

00:03:22.220 --> 00:03:24.139
I told christo I was off the grid, yeah.

00:03:24.140 --> 00:03:26.179
I had to get a suit and a new haircut.

00:03:26.180 --> 00:03:28.899
But I'm getting paid,
though. Breathe, mate. It's ok.

00:03:28.900 --> 00:03:30.659
I'm not here to collect.

00:03:30.660 --> 00:03:31.979
Yet.

00:03:31.980 --> 00:03:33.739
Ah, it's good to see ya.

00:03:33.740 --> 00:03:35.619
I got a proposition for ya.

00:03:35.620 --> 00:03:37.819
Oh no, I'm gonna be pretty
busy for the next couple of months

00:03:37.820 --> 00:03:39.179
with the trial. It's a murder trial.

00:03:39.180 --> 00:03:40.339
Yeah, I know.

00:03:40.340 --> 00:03:44.259
I've got this investor friend
who's * fascinated by it,

00:03:44.260 --> 00:03:47.099
and wants to pay you to
give him the inside story.

00:03:47.100 --> 00:03:49.619
How much? 7k.

00:03:49.620 --> 00:03:51.619
Which, by a remarkable coincidence,

00:03:51.620 --> 00:03:53.860
it's exactly what you owe
christo this month, yeah?

00:03:56.540 --> 00:03:58.979
Is christo running a book
on this? Don't be dumb.

00:03:58.980 --> 00:04:01.019
Who'd bet on a coin toss
with desperate scum like you

00:04:01.020 --> 00:04:03.939
on the * jury, hey? Then why?

00:04:03.940 --> 00:04:05.539
Well, I'll tell you what, Sherlock.

00:04:05.540 --> 00:04:08.019
You use your detective
skills on your jury mates,

00:04:08.020 --> 00:04:09.699
see which way they're leaning,

00:04:09.700 --> 00:04:12.299
who's got a reason to
vote one way or another,

00:04:12.300 --> 00:04:15.699
and if my investor finds it useful enough,

00:04:15.700 --> 00:04:17.860
seven grand of your sizeable debt disappears.

00:04:20.260 --> 00:04:21.260
Can I think about it?

00:04:24.460 --> 00:04:26.499
Sure. Zeus?

00:04:26.500 --> 00:04:27.500
Ripley?

00:04:30.460 --> 00:04:31.460
You done?

00:04:33.380 --> 00:04:35.220
'Cause you've tried my Patience before, yeah?

00:04:40.300 --> 00:04:41.380
* idiot.

00:04:49.140 --> 00:04:50.659
So, what's the judge like?

00:04:50.660 --> 00:04:52.059
Playing for the defence?

00:04:52.060 --> 00:04:53.099
It's too early to tell.

00:04:53.100 --> 00:04:55.979
It's his first murder, so baby steps.

00:04:55.980 --> 00:04:58.099
He doesn't seem too dazzled by Colby.

00:04:58.100 --> 00:04:59.819
I am not looking forward
to being cross-examined

00:04:59.820 --> 00:05:01.299
by that slippery prick.

00:05:01.300 --> 00:05:03.859
Funny, that's what his ex-wife calls him.

00:05:03.860 --> 00:05:05.619
Which one love?

00:05:05.620 --> 00:05:08.620
All jokes aside, you are
not to underestimate him.

00:05:15.900 --> 00:05:18.499
Looks like another bikie trial's starting.

00:05:18.500 --> 00:05:19.819
It's Steve dokic.

00:05:19.820 --> 00:05:20.940
The 'darkroom rapist.'

00:05:24.380 --> 00:05:26.099
there was a moment during Colby's opening

00:05:26.100 --> 00:05:28.099
where Kate was almost physically shaking.

00:05:28.100 --> 00:05:29.499
She was looking straight at him.

00:05:29.500 --> 00:05:31.539
What's he in doing court? Doesn't matter.

00:05:31.540 --> 00:05:32.659
You need to get rid of him

00:05:32.660 --> 00:05:35.019
or Colby will accuse
us of disrupting the trial.

00:05:35.020 --> 00:05:36.139
He should be a witness.

00:05:36.140 --> 00:05:38.539
Nothing about '92 is admissible, alright?

00:05:38.540 --> 00:05:40.379
Not a word. Not even a whisper.

00:05:40.380 --> 00:05:42.979
Yeah, yeah, I know. UN-*-believable.

00:05:42.980 --> 00:05:45.059
Leave it with me.

00:05:45.060 --> 00:05:46.780
Anyway, right now you need to concentrate.

00:05:48.380 --> 00:05:50.739
Would you please state
your name, rank and station.

00:05:50.740 --> 00:05:53.659
Detective sergeant Samantha
chedid, homicide squad.

00:05:53.660 --> 00:05:56.139
Thank you, detective.

00:05:56.140 --> 00:05:57.179
Could you please tell us

00:05:57.180 --> 00:05:59.259
how the disappearance of Claire Spears

00:05:59.260 --> 00:06:01.139
first came to police attention?

00:06:01.140 --> 00:06:03.939
Mr Colby, is there any objection
to the crown leading evidence

00:06:03.940 --> 00:06:05.299
from the missing persons case?

00:06:05.300 --> 00:06:07.180
No, your honour, it is not in dispute.

00:06:09.580 --> 00:06:12.859
On Monday, 16 September, 2019,

00:06:12.860 --> 00:06:16.499
Diane Spears told chatswood
police her 14-year-old daughter

00:06:16.500 --> 00:06:18.259
had disappeared from Kate Lawson's home.

00:06:18.260 --> 00:06:19.979
And what was the police's response?

00:06:19.980 --> 00:06:21.400
Detective Shane Chapman

00:06:21.401 --> 00:06:22.820
notified the 'missing persons unit'

00:06:22.820 --> 00:06:24.859
and led a team of officers to castlecrag.

00:06:24.860 --> 00:06:28.419
And do the police respond this
way to every missing person's report?

00:06:28.420 --> 00:06:31.819
Claire was very young
and possibly vulnerable.

00:06:31.820 --> 00:06:34.539
The circumstances... I'm sorry.

00:06:34.540 --> 00:06:36.819
Why did you use the word 'vulnerable?'

00:06:36.820 --> 00:06:39.379
well, because she was on her own.

00:06:39.380 --> 00:06:43.899
And the circumstances of her
disappearance were unusual.

00:06:43.900 --> 00:06:47.779
And it was nearly two days
since she was last seen.

00:06:47.780 --> 00:06:49.300
Ok, team, gather round.

00:06:51.180 --> 00:06:53.619
I'm going to need you to door
knock the whole street, ok?

00:06:53.620 --> 00:06:57.739
Anything suspicious they heard or
saw between 9:00pm Saturday night

00:06:57.740 --> 00:06:59.779
and 11:00 Sunday morning.

00:06:59.780 --> 00:07:04.459
Strange vehicles, unexplained
sounds, odd people.

00:07:04.460 --> 00:07:05.460
Ok, go to it.

00:07:08.260 --> 00:07:10.899
So, when I got home from dropping amita off

00:07:10.900 --> 00:07:15.299
at about 10:00pm, Claire's door was closed

00:07:15.300 --> 00:07:18.300
and I assumed she was
sleeping, or still sulking.

00:07:20.740 --> 00:07:22.499
And her bed was slept in?

00:07:22.500 --> 00:07:26.299
Well, yeah. She wouldn't
have left in the dark.

00:07:26.300 --> 00:07:27.939
Any particular reason she'd leave at all?

00:07:34.900 --> 00:07:36.139
Come this way. Thanks.

00:07:43.300 --> 00:07:44.859
Diane, what are you doing?

00:07:44.860 --> 00:07:46.339
Tea, on the terrace.

00:08:00.420 --> 00:08:02.579
Do you know if Claire's phone was charged?

00:08:02.580 --> 00:08:04.579
Oh, I don't know.

00:08:04.580 --> 00:08:06.299
She often lets it run low.

00:08:06.300 --> 00:08:08.139
Actually, it was definitely charged.

00:08:08.140 --> 00:08:10.659
Amita put it on the charger in the kitchen.

00:08:10.660 --> 00:08:12.019
I um...

00:08:12.020 --> 00:08:16.979
I called her and left voicemails at 10:07pm,

00:08:16.980 --> 00:08:22.099
7:00am, 11:13am and then a
series from 4:00pm onwards

00:08:22.100 --> 00:08:25.139
when the school called to
say that she wasn't there.

00:08:25.140 --> 00:08:26.899
You called her phone?

00:08:26.900 --> 00:08:28.820
Even though you thought
she was in the bedroom?

00:08:30.420 --> 00:08:32.139
I do the same thing myself.

00:08:32.140 --> 00:08:34.379
Sometimes it's the only
way to get her to answer.

00:08:34.380 --> 00:08:36.539
Excuse me, detective Chapman?

00:08:36.540 --> 00:08:38.060
One of the neighbours has cctv.

00:08:41.060 --> 00:08:42.699
Has Claire ever run away before?

00:08:45.660 --> 00:08:47.819
Is this the footage retrieved

00:08:47.820 --> 00:08:49.859
from the neighbour's security system?

00:08:49.860 --> 00:08:52.219
Yes, from 88 cheyne walk, castlecrag,

00:08:52.220 --> 00:08:54.579
directly opposite Kate Lawson's home.

00:08:54.580 --> 00:08:58.619
At 9:03pm, amita James left
the house via the front door

00:08:58.620 --> 00:09:01.939
and got into the passenger
seat of Kate Lawson's car.

00:09:01.940 --> 00:09:03.779
Kate Lawson got in after her.

00:09:15.220 --> 00:09:17.779
She was gone for approximately 50 minutes.

00:09:22.780 --> 00:09:25.779
Kate Lawson returned alone at 9:58pm.

00:09:25.780 --> 00:09:29.539
Did the cctv show anyone leaving or entering

00:09:29.540 --> 00:09:31.859
after Kate Lawson came home that night?

00:09:31.860 --> 00:09:33.099
Nobody.

00:09:33.100 --> 00:09:36.979
Your honour, I believe madam
crown should clarify that matter.

00:09:36.980 --> 00:09:38.659
Is it the case that the cctv

00:09:38.660 --> 00:09:41.379
only captures the front of
Kate Lawson's property?

00:09:41.380 --> 00:09:42.539
That's right.

00:09:42.540 --> 00:09:45.859
The bushland at the back of
the property isn't covered by cctv.

00:09:45.860 --> 00:09:47.379
Thank you, madam crown.

00:09:47.380 --> 00:09:49.219
Your honour, I tender the footage.

00:09:49.220 --> 00:09:51.819
It will be marked exhibit a.

00:09:51.820 --> 00:09:53.459
So, apart from door
knocking the neighbourhood,

00:09:53.460 --> 00:09:55.419
what else was involved in the investigation?

00:09:55.420 --> 00:09:57.979
Police worked alongside
Claire's mother, Diane,

00:09:57.980 --> 00:10:00.619
to reach out to family and friends.

00:10:00.620 --> 00:10:03.219
Claire's school contacted the students.

00:10:03.220 --> 00:10:06.539
Airport, train and bus
stations were all alerted.

00:10:06.540 --> 00:10:11.539
We checked Claire's bank accounts,
her rideshare and opal accounts.

00:10:11.540 --> 00:10:13.219
We monitored her social media.

00:10:13.220 --> 00:10:17.099
And what was the result of all
these hours spent searching?

00:10:17.100 --> 00:10:18.139
Nothing.

00:10:18.140 --> 00:10:23.419
Not a single trace of a 14-year-old
schoolgirl missing for two days?

00:10:23.420 --> 00:10:25.539
No sign at all.

00:10:25.540 --> 00:10:27.579
Detective, how did homicide become involved

00:10:27.580 --> 00:10:28.899
in the investigation?

00:10:28.900 --> 00:10:31.379
Chapman sent me a video.

00:10:31.380 --> 00:10:33.099
Members of the jury,

00:10:33.100 --> 00:10:35.259
the judge warned you
that there might be evidence

00:10:35.260 --> 00:10:36.979
in this trial that may be distressing.

00:10:36.980 --> 00:10:38.700
I ask for your fortitude.

00:10:40.820 --> 00:10:44.819
Detective, would you identify
the footage on the screen, please?

00:10:44.820 --> 00:10:47.499
It's video found on Claire's phone.

00:10:47.500 --> 00:10:49.859
It was recorded at 8:57pm

00:10:49.860 --> 00:10:52.980
on the night of 14 September, 2019.

00:11:28.100 --> 00:11:29.739
We're up to exhibit b.

00:11:29.740 --> 00:11:33.779
Thank you, mr Colby. I believe
madam crown knows what she's doing.

00:11:33.780 --> 00:11:36.539
So do I, your honour.

00:11:52.900 --> 00:11:57.899
Detective chedid, when did you first
speak to the accused, Kate Lawson?

00:11:57.900 --> 00:12:02.939
At 5:45pm on Monday 16 September, 2019.

00:12:02.940 --> 00:12:05.259
Ms Lawson and her sister, Diane Spears,

00:12:05.260 --> 00:12:06.979
were providing police with information

00:12:06.980 --> 00:12:08.260
about Claire's contacts.

00:12:10.220 --> 00:12:12.979
Kate Lawson, I'm detective chedid.

00:12:12.980 --> 00:12:14.059
I'm here to interview you

00:12:14.060 --> 00:12:15.979
in connection with the
disappearance of Claire Spears.

00:12:15.980 --> 00:12:17.419
You're not required to do or say anything,

00:12:17.420 --> 00:12:19.299
but anything you do or say
could be used in evidence.

00:12:19.300 --> 00:12:20.339
Has something happened?

00:12:20.340 --> 00:12:22.459
Diane Spears, this premises is
now considered a crime scene.

00:12:22.460 --> 00:12:23.579
You'll have to leave.

00:12:23.580 --> 00:12:26.819
Ms Lawson, could you remain
seated while we conduct a search?

00:12:26.820 --> 00:12:28.340
Please tell me what's going on.

00:12:31.540 --> 00:12:33.499
Why are they searching the house?

00:12:33.500 --> 00:12:35.059
What has Nathan said to you?

00:12:35.060 --> 00:12:36.539
She's run away.

00:12:36.540 --> 00:12:38.219
My daughter has run away.

00:12:38.220 --> 00:12:40.979
You should be looking
for her. Chappie, can you...

00:12:40.980 --> 00:12:42.000
I'll need your phone,

00:12:42.001 --> 00:12:43.021
laptop and any other devices.

00:12:43.020 --> 00:12:44.539
What the * is going on? Kate?

00:12:44.540 --> 00:12:48.259
It's fine. I'm fine. Go.

00:12:48.260 --> 00:12:49.499
Could you please read that.

00:12:56.820 --> 00:12:59.579
I really hope we don't have
to watch that video again.

00:12:59.580 --> 00:13:02.219
You got kids? Yeah, little ones.

00:13:02.220 --> 00:13:04.259
God, that makes it worse.

00:13:04.260 --> 00:13:08.499
And I wonder what Kate Lawson
could possibly say for herself.

00:13:08.500 --> 00:13:10.739
Oh, she won't give evidence.

00:13:10.740 --> 00:13:12.820
Not unless things are
going very badly for her.

00:13:14.420 --> 00:13:16.339
I watch all the crime dramas.

00:13:16.340 --> 00:13:18.619
The accused is not required to testify.

00:13:18.620 --> 00:13:20.499
We cannot draw any
conclusions about her guilt,

00:13:20.500 --> 00:13:22.819
based on whether she does or doesn't.

00:13:22.820 --> 00:13:24.419
Kubba.

00:13:24.420 --> 00:13:27.139
It's homemade. Has that got meat in it?

00:13:27.140 --> 00:13:28.699
I'm actually a vegan.

00:13:28.700 --> 00:13:31.059
Lamb, rice, spices.

00:13:31.060 --> 00:13:34.220
Mm, perhaps a little bit rich, for me.

00:13:35.740 --> 00:13:36.740
Help yourselves.

00:13:54.220 --> 00:13:56.939
You ok? Yeah, no, I just...

00:13:56.940 --> 00:14:00.499
I think this case is just
gonna get to me a little bit.

00:14:00.500 --> 00:14:01.939
Makes two of us.

00:14:15.160 --> 00:14:16.359
We're back in.

00:14:22.960 --> 00:14:25.400
Very generous, farrad. Thank you.

00:14:27.680 --> 00:14:32.479
Yes, well, I shouldn't,
but they do look lovely.

00:14:32.480 --> 00:14:33.639
Thank you.

00:14:38.600 --> 00:14:39.920
Come on, we'll be late.

00:14:54.080 --> 00:14:56.959
Detective, could you
please identify this footage?

00:14:56.960 --> 00:14:58.239
It's the video recording

00:14:58.240 --> 00:15:00.119
of the search of Kate Lawson's premises

00:15:00.120 --> 00:15:01.640
and the bushland surrounding it.

00:15:06.760 --> 00:15:07.839
Here.

00:15:15.680 --> 00:15:18.039
Photographs from Kate Lawson's laptop.

00:15:18.040 --> 00:15:19.599
I seek to tender that, your honour.

00:15:19.600 --> 00:15:22.239
No objection. I'll have that
handed to my associate.

00:15:22.240 --> 00:15:24.599
And we'll Mark it exhibit c.

00:15:35.760 --> 00:15:36.760
Detective.

00:15:38.720 --> 00:15:41.279
The school uniform belonging to Kate Lawson

00:15:41.280 --> 00:15:43.079
stained with red acrylic paint.

00:15:43.080 --> 00:15:45.199
I tender that, your honour. No objection.

00:15:45.200 --> 00:15:47.559
Exhibit number h.

00:15:47.560 --> 00:15:50.519
Black and white photographic
prints of Claire Spears.

00:15:50.520 --> 00:15:52.319
The crown tenders those, your honour.

00:15:52.320 --> 00:15:54.400
No objection. Exhibit number I.

00:15:56.960 --> 00:15:59.439
A proof sheet series of Claire Spears

00:15:59.440 --> 00:16:01.159
tying knots in ropes.

00:16:13.980 --> 00:16:16.539
What was inside the retractable cutter?

00:16:16.540 --> 00:16:18.139
Claire Spears' blood.

00:16:18.140 --> 00:16:20.939
Mr Colby, do you object to the
crown leading forensic evidence?

00:16:20.940 --> 00:16:22.459
Your honour, there is no dispute

00:16:22.460 --> 00:16:25.419
that the blood found
within the retractable cutter

00:16:25.420 --> 00:16:29.259
has been matched by
forensics to that of Claire Spears,

00:16:29.260 --> 00:16:31.539
and I'll be cross-examining
the forensic analyst

00:16:31.540 --> 00:16:32.779
later in the week.

00:16:32.780 --> 00:16:34.979
Thank you, mr Colby.

00:16:34.980 --> 00:16:37.819
The accused participated
in a record of interview

00:16:37.820 --> 00:16:42.459
on 16 September, 2019,
at chatswood police station.

00:16:42.460 --> 00:16:43.579
Yes.

00:16:43.580 --> 00:16:46.220
Your honour, I intend to play
the recording of the interview now.

00:16:56.860 --> 00:17:00.219
You need to speak to
amita James, Claire's friend.

00:17:00.220 --> 00:17:02.859
Chapman has all of her details.

00:17:02.860 --> 00:17:05.099
Amita recorded that.

00:17:05.100 --> 00:17:07.019
The light at the end is me
coming through the door.

00:17:07.020 --> 00:17:09.339
I caught them at it and I put a stop to it.

00:17:09.340 --> 00:17:10.659
What are they doing?

00:17:10.660 --> 00:17:12.299
They call it 'scarfing.'

00:17:12.300 --> 00:17:15.180
it's stupid teenage girls showing off.

00:17:18.060 --> 00:17:21.699
They pretend that they're
engaging in auto-erotic asphyxiation.

00:17:21.700 --> 00:17:24.339
Is this why I'm here?

00:17:24.340 --> 00:17:26.219
You think she's dead?

00:17:26.220 --> 00:17:28.579
No, no, no, you need to speak to amita.

00:17:28.580 --> 00:17:32.099
Claire is very much alive, and she's missing.

00:17:32.100 --> 00:17:35.019
Were you aware Claire and amita
were recording high-risk behaviours

00:17:35.020 --> 00:17:37.939
in your home? No, I put a stop to it.

00:17:37.940 --> 00:17:39.859
I drove amita home.

00:17:39.860 --> 00:17:42.939
I tried to confiscate Claire's
phone but she was too quick.

00:17:42.940 --> 00:17:45.979
Well, how did it end up under your fridge?

00:17:45.980 --> 00:17:49.699
I think that's a question for
Nathan Spears, don't you?

00:17:49.700 --> 00:17:52.499
There were other videos on Claire's phone.

00:17:52.500 --> 00:17:56.419
Her devices, her social media
feeds show other risk-taking.

00:17:56.420 --> 00:17:57.540
What, like drinking?

00:17:59.100 --> 00:18:01.179
Kids drink. They all do.

00:18:01.180 --> 00:18:04.099
I just prefer that they did it where
they were safe and supervised

00:18:04.100 --> 00:18:07.139
and not in the back of a
panel Van in a macca's carpark.

00:18:07.140 --> 00:18:12.019
Are you aware that grooming
is against the law in this state?

00:18:12.020 --> 00:18:16.139
I am not grooming my niece.

00:18:16.140 --> 00:18:19.259
You've admitted you
provided your underage niece

00:18:19.260 --> 00:18:21.739
with intoxicating substances.

00:18:21.740 --> 00:18:23.339
It's the occasional glass of wine.

00:18:23.340 --> 00:18:25.899
And you've exposed her to indecent material.

00:18:25.900 --> 00:18:28.259
My art is not indecent.

00:18:28.260 --> 00:18:30.059
Do you photograph Claire

00:18:30.060 --> 00:18:32.819
masturbating on a
staircase in a school uniform?

00:18:32.820 --> 00:18:34.019
She's not masturbating,

00:18:34.020 --> 00:18:37.059
she's exploring her own menstrual blood.

00:18:37.060 --> 00:18:39.579
Well, did you ask her to writhe in ecstasy

00:18:39.580 --> 00:18:42.659
while exploring her period blood?

00:18:42.660 --> 00:18:45.499
That is such a reductive way
to describe a young woman

00:18:45.500 --> 00:18:48.339
exploring the power of her own beauty.

00:18:48.340 --> 00:18:50.880
So you find beauty

00:18:50.881 --> 00:18:53.421
in a
teenage girl masturbating?

00:18:53.420 --> 00:18:56.979
I think that question says so
much more about you than me.

00:18:56.980 --> 00:19:00.219
Review the transcript...

00:19:05.380 --> 00:19:07.739
Mark that exhibit m.

00:19:07.740 --> 00:19:10.099
What happened next in the investigation?

00:19:10.100 --> 00:19:13.019
We obtained a warrant to place
Kate Lawson under surveillance

00:19:13.020 --> 00:19:16.019
and monitor her phone, email
and other communications.

00:19:16.020 --> 00:19:18.379
Did you continue to search for Claire Spears?

00:19:18.380 --> 00:19:20.899
In cooperation with chatswood
and the state-wide unit,

00:19:20.900 --> 00:19:24.419
we carried out a full
missing person's investigation

00:19:24.420 --> 00:19:26.459
in the hope Claire Spears
would be found alive.

00:19:26.460 --> 00:19:28.139
When did that stop?

00:19:28.140 --> 00:19:31.299
On 1 November, 2019,

00:19:31.300 --> 00:19:34.659
a family group picnicking at
flat rock beach in middle harbour

00:19:34.660 --> 00:19:38.099
found a Norwich ladies college
school tie washed up on the sand.

00:19:38.100 --> 00:19:39.700
Could the witness be handed this?

00:19:44.620 --> 00:19:47.659
Is this the tie you just referred to?

00:19:47.660 --> 00:19:48.939
Yes.

00:19:48.940 --> 00:19:50.419
Detective, could you tell the jury

00:19:50.420 --> 00:19:54.779
what name is sewn into
the back of that school tie?

00:19:54.780 --> 00:19:55.859
Claire Spears.

00:20:17.160 --> 00:20:18.479
Margaret.

00:20:18.480 --> 00:20:20.479
Cheese and tomato toastie. Bless you.

00:20:20.480 --> 00:20:23.959
Thank you. And Georgina, chicken pot pie.

00:20:23.960 --> 00:20:25.599
Thank you.

00:20:25.600 --> 00:20:27.999
You don't think it's premature to tally votes

00:20:28.000 --> 00:20:31.039
until we've heard all the
evidence, and all the witnesses?

00:20:31.040 --> 00:20:32.759
People are gonna change
their minds either way.

00:20:32.760 --> 00:20:34.879
Might as well find out
where we stand day by day.

00:20:34.880 --> 00:20:38.359
Someone's got a business to
run. Let's get cracking, people.

00:20:38.360 --> 00:20:41.520
Would it make me a racist or a
misogynist to make fun of you?

00:20:43.120 --> 00:20:45.759
I don't understand the detective
making such a song and dance

00:20:45.760 --> 00:20:47.399
about a bit of menstrual blood.

00:20:47.400 --> 00:20:49.199
Oi. Lunchtime.

00:20:49.200 --> 00:20:52.479
Should women pretend
we don't bleed every month?

00:20:52.480 --> 00:20:55.639
Does anyone know Kate Lawson's date of birth?

00:20:55.640 --> 00:20:56.919
Why?

00:20:56.920 --> 00:20:59.079
Well, the more we know, the better.

00:20:59.080 --> 00:21:01.759
Well, what does her birthday
got to do with anything?

00:21:01.760 --> 00:21:04.559
You can just say if you're
not into astrology, Margaret.

00:21:04.560 --> 00:21:07.239
Mm, I doubt judge muir is, either.

00:21:07.240 --> 00:21:09.759
There's actually a lot of research
linking astrology and crime.

00:21:09.760 --> 00:21:10.959
Sure.

00:21:10.960 --> 00:21:13.039
Might as well find out her
favourite colour while we're at it.

00:21:13.040 --> 00:21:15.239
Oh yeah, be my guest.

00:21:15.240 --> 00:21:17.559
Guys, we're clearly all very different.

00:21:17.560 --> 00:21:19.800
We just have to make some
actual space for one another.

00:21:22.200 --> 00:21:23.959
Can this dude even hear us?

00:21:23.960 --> 00:21:25.760
Hey, 'ocean's 8.'

00:21:27.640 --> 00:21:29.360
is that drink from a vending machine here?

00:21:33.400 --> 00:21:34.679
I love this crackhead.

00:21:38.160 --> 00:21:39.440
So, what is it you do, mate?

00:21:41.360 --> 00:21:43.559
Investment banking.

00:21:43.560 --> 00:21:45.279
I do 'm and a' for a boutique outfit.

00:21:45.280 --> 00:21:46.439
Yeah, yeah.

00:21:52.800 --> 00:21:57.959
Detective chedid, how long
have you been with the police?

00:21:57.960 --> 00:22:00.359
I've been a police officer for 12 years.

00:22:00.360 --> 00:22:03.039
And how long have you
been a homicide detective?

00:22:03.040 --> 00:22:05.559
I was made detective in 2014

00:22:05.560 --> 00:22:08.559
and I joined homicide five years later.

00:22:08.560 --> 00:22:10.719
So, at the time of Claire's disappearance,

00:22:10.720 --> 00:22:14.239
you'd been a homicide
detective for, what, three months?

00:22:14.240 --> 00:22:15.639
Almost four.

00:22:15.640 --> 00:22:17.359
Four months.

00:22:17.360 --> 00:22:22.799
Now, exhibit b, detective
chedid, the video of Claire scarfing.

00:22:22.800 --> 00:22:25.079
How was that footage obtained?

00:22:25.080 --> 00:22:29.079
The auto-erotic asphyxiation video
came from Claire Spears' phone.

00:22:29.080 --> 00:22:30.920
And how was the phone obtained?

00:22:32.840 --> 00:22:36.520
Please play the bodycam
footage, as tendered by the crown.

00:22:39.760 --> 00:22:41.799
Get out of my house.

00:22:41.800 --> 00:22:42.840
Nathan.

00:22:46.740 --> 00:22:50.419
Get the * out of my house.
This is your fault, Diane?

00:22:50.620 --> 00:22:52.619
Alright? You gave our
little girl to this * witch.

00:22:52.620 --> 00:22:54.379
And whatever she's done
to her, you're responsible.

00:22:54.380 --> 00:22:56.419
She's run away, that's it. She just ran away.

00:22:56.420 --> 00:22:57.539
She's run away?

00:22:57.540 --> 00:22:59.619
Then why did I find her
phone hidden under a fridge?

00:22:59.620 --> 00:23:01.660
Mr Spears, please, come on. Come on.

00:23:14.040 --> 00:23:15.639
Did you ask Nathan Spears

00:23:15.640 --> 00:23:18.199
how he knew where to look for Claire's phone?

00:23:18.200 --> 00:23:21.319
He told me that's where Claire
had hidden her phone in the past,

00:23:21.320 --> 00:23:22.719
when he'd tried to confiscate it.

00:23:22.720 --> 00:23:24.639
I'd like to show exhibit a,

00:23:24.640 --> 00:23:29.039
but this time, the footage
beginning at 8:13pm.

00:23:29.040 --> 00:23:31.999
How do you describe
this event in your report?

00:23:32.000 --> 00:23:34.320
Nathan Spears came to Kate Lawson's house.

00:23:37.640 --> 00:23:40.679
He went inside and emerged
moments later with his daughter,

00:23:40.680 --> 00:23:41.680
Claire Spears.

00:23:47.200 --> 00:23:49.079
Kate Lawson appears from inside the house,

00:23:49.080 --> 00:23:52.040
and after an altercation in
the car, Claire returned inside.

00:23:57.800 --> 00:24:00.879
An altercation, yes.

00:24:00.880 --> 00:24:05.439
Detective chedid, are you familiar
with the term 'selective editing?'

00:24:05.440 --> 00:24:07.319
in what context?

00:24:07.320 --> 00:24:09.239
Exhibit a.

00:24:09.240 --> 00:24:12.759
Well, that's 16 hours of cctv
where very little happens.

00:24:12.760 --> 00:24:15.879
But something does happen,
does it not, at 8:13pm?

00:24:15.880 --> 00:24:19.519
Didn't you think the altercation
with mr Spears was both relevant

00:24:19.520 --> 00:24:21.599
and important? It's all in the footage.

00:24:21.600 --> 00:24:24.519
Which you chose not to show to the jury.

00:24:24.520 --> 00:24:27.719
Now, you've described a
caution that you gave ms Lawson

00:24:27.720 --> 00:24:29.079
when you entered the house.

00:24:29.080 --> 00:24:32.119
Did you similarly caution mr Spears?

00:24:32.120 --> 00:24:34.519
I'm only required to caution a suspect.

00:24:34.520 --> 00:24:36.839
Even after he was
revealed to be in possession

00:24:36.840 --> 00:24:38.119
of Claire's phone?

00:24:38.120 --> 00:24:39.999
He found the phone in Kate Lawson's house.

00:24:40.000 --> 00:24:42.879
The jury have seen the
video of the body-worn camera.

00:24:42.880 --> 00:24:44.959
They'll decide that, detective.

00:24:44.960 --> 00:24:47.239
At any point, did you
consider the possibility

00:24:47.240 --> 00:24:50.919
that Nathan Spears planted
the phone under the fridge?

00:24:50.920 --> 00:24:53.199
How would he have it if Claire
and ms Lawson argued over it?

00:24:53.200 --> 00:24:56.559
I ask the questions,
detective, you know that.

00:24:56.560 --> 00:25:01.639
Is it possible that mr Spears
planted the phone under the fridge?

00:25:01.640 --> 00:25:03.959
It's possible, sure. But likely, no.

00:25:03.960 --> 00:25:07.559
I didn't ask if it was likely,
I asked if it was possible.

00:25:07.560 --> 00:25:10.239
Now the answer to that is?

00:25:10.240 --> 00:25:13.799
Yes, it's possible. Yes,
it's possible. Thank you.

00:25:13.800 --> 00:25:16.919
Did you search mr Spears? No.

00:25:16.920 --> 00:25:20.079
Is that because you'd already
made your mind up who was guilty

00:25:20.080 --> 00:25:22.719
before you even entered Kate Lawson's house?

00:25:22.720 --> 00:25:24.479
No. At any point did you consider

00:25:24.480 --> 00:25:27.639
mr spear a potential suspect in this case?

00:25:27.640 --> 00:25:29.719
There was never any evidence to support that.

00:25:29.720 --> 00:25:31.119
Because you didn't look for any.

00:25:31.120 --> 00:25:33.559
No, I followed the
evidence... You followed what?

00:25:33.560 --> 00:25:34.839
A hunch?

00:25:34.840 --> 00:25:38.039
You followed the accusations
that mr Spears himself had made?

00:25:38.040 --> 00:25:39.079
No, no.

00:25:39.080 --> 00:25:41.999
Tell me this. Would a
more experienced detective

00:25:42.000 --> 00:25:44.559
have investigated more
than one suspect in this case...

00:25:44.560 --> 00:25:45.759
Objection.

00:25:45.760 --> 00:25:49.079
Detective chedid's
experience has been dealt with.

00:25:49.080 --> 00:25:51.239
This is a question designed to offend.

00:25:51.240 --> 00:25:53.879
Don't test my Patience, mr Colby.

00:25:53.880 --> 00:25:55.959
Thank you, your honour.

00:25:55.960 --> 00:25:58.519
Did you ever search his house in the same way

00:25:58.520 --> 00:26:00.319
as you did ms Lawson's?

00:26:00.320 --> 00:26:02.359
I did not. Did you comb through his phone,

00:26:02.360 --> 00:26:04.839
through his laptop, through his social media

00:26:04.840 --> 00:26:06.159
in the same way? I did not.

00:26:06.160 --> 00:26:07.879
No, you did not.

00:26:07.880 --> 00:26:10.079
Now, detective, on another matter,

00:26:10.080 --> 00:26:14.279
does the fact that Claire's
tie washed up on the shore

00:26:14.280 --> 00:26:18.639
rule out the possibility that
mr Spears, amita James

00:26:18.640 --> 00:26:23.519
or Claire herself dropped it into
any gutter or stormwater drain

00:26:23.520 --> 00:26:24.999
that washes into the harbour?

00:26:25.000 --> 00:26:28.719
It's my job to reach a conclusion
based upon all the evidence.

00:26:28.720 --> 00:26:32.119
Then I put it to you that rather
than consider all the evidence,

00:26:32.120 --> 00:26:35.479
you'd already made your
mind up about Kate Lawson.

00:26:35.480 --> 00:26:36.639
I disagree.

00:26:36.640 --> 00:26:38.679
Well, of course you would.

00:26:38.680 --> 00:26:39.919
That's all, your honour.

00:26:47.640 --> 00:26:50.319
People of the jury,

00:26:50.320 --> 00:26:55.039
did the dad hide the phone
under the fridge or what?

00:26:55.040 --> 00:26:58.599
I think it's pretty hard to tell,
from the bodycam footage.

00:26:58.600 --> 00:27:00.159
Where did he get it?

00:27:00.160 --> 00:27:02.439
Kate told the detective Claire had the phone

00:27:02.440 --> 00:27:03.839
after her father left. Yeah, yeah.

00:27:03.840 --> 00:27:05.839
It's pretty weird he knew
exactly where it was.

00:27:05.840 --> 00:27:06.919
Suss, eh.

00:27:06.920 --> 00:27:08.239
Claire had hidden her phone

00:27:08.240 --> 00:27:09.599
under her father's fridge in the past.

00:27:09.600 --> 00:27:12.199
Yeah, I don't like the sound
of their relationship at all.

00:27:12.200 --> 00:27:14.959
It's a father's job sometimes
to be disciplinarian.

00:27:14.960 --> 00:27:17.959
No, I think there's something
off about Nathan Spears.

00:27:17.960 --> 00:27:19.639
I don't think I'm the only one.

00:27:19.640 --> 00:27:21.999
I just think it's a
little bit early to judge.

00:27:22.000 --> 00:27:23.039
Yeah, you're totally right.

00:27:23.040 --> 00:27:25.079
It's way too early to split into camps.

00:27:25.080 --> 00:27:26.919
He broke into her home
and called her a witch.

00:27:26.920 --> 00:27:28.999
It's abusive. Give the guy a break.

00:27:29.000 --> 00:27:30.639
His 14-year-old daughter was missing.

00:27:30.640 --> 00:27:33.079
There's always a * excuse.

00:27:33.080 --> 00:27:34.879
Maybe we should all go home.

00:27:34.880 --> 00:27:36.559
We've got another two months in this place.

00:27:36.560 --> 00:27:39.359
Yeah, the boss is right.

00:27:39.360 --> 00:27:40.360
See you guys tomorrow.

00:27:47.520 --> 00:27:48.839
Good evening, farrad.

00:27:48.840 --> 00:27:52.120
And thank you, farrad, for a delicious snack.

00:27:58.560 --> 00:28:01.399
Looks like we were the only two to try it.

00:28:01.400 --> 00:28:03.000
I've got a confession to make.

00:28:04.560 --> 00:28:06.159
I can't eat spicy food.

00:28:06.160 --> 00:28:07.160
Gives me indigestion.

00:28:09.440 --> 00:28:10.440
Me too.

00:28:13.480 --> 00:28:15.319
What did you think of today?

00:28:15.320 --> 00:28:16.480
Today?

00:28:18.880 --> 00:28:21.040
People have no respect for life.

00:28:22.720 --> 00:28:23.720
Or death.

00:28:25.520 --> 00:28:26.639
Or kubba.

00:29:09.400 --> 00:29:11.919
Hello? Caitlin, hi.

00:29:11.920 --> 00:29:13.799
It's Georgina merrick.

00:29:13.800 --> 00:29:15.039
Oh, hi, Georgina.

00:29:15.040 --> 00:29:18.799
Ah, Debra passed on your
number. She said that I might call.

00:29:18.800 --> 00:29:21.159
Oh yeah, yeah, that's
right. She did mention it.

00:29:21.160 --> 00:29:23.439
Look, have you thought
about after school care,

00:29:23.440 --> 00:29:25.719
because I don't think our
kids are friends, are they?

00:29:25.720 --> 00:29:27.719
I mean... sorry?

00:29:27.720 --> 00:29:28.919
Sorry, what was that? Later.

00:29:28.920 --> 00:29:31.599
I've gotta go. Yeah, no, no, that's fine.

00:29:31.600 --> 00:29:33.879
You go, you go. It's fine.

00:29:33.880 --> 00:29:35.199
Sorry I couldn't help. Thank you.

00:29:40.960 --> 00:29:42.639
Hey, guys, do you think when we get home,

00:29:42.840 --> 00:29:44.519
that we can pretend to daddy

00:29:44.520 --> 00:29:46.159
that I picked you up from after care?

00:29:46.160 --> 00:29:47.199
Why?

00:29:47.200 --> 00:29:49.239
Because he just, he likes it when I do.

00:29:49.240 --> 00:29:50.639
Me too. Me three.

00:29:50.640 --> 00:29:53.759
Alright. Just let's not tell daddy, ok?

00:29:53.760 --> 00:29:55.200
Last one in the car's a rotten egg.

00:29:56.720 --> 00:29:59.200
Hey, hang on, hang on.
Alright, alright, seatbelts.

00:30:05.040 --> 00:30:07.839
We're home, we're home.

00:30:10.500 --> 00:30:13.179
Why did you wink?

00:30:13.180 --> 00:30:17.819
Um, well that's mummy and daddy code.

00:30:17.820 --> 00:30:21.899
What's mummy and daddy code?

00:30:21.900 --> 00:30:25.580
Um, well, that's what
keeps this family going.

00:30:28.340 --> 00:30:30.980
So, it's good they let you out
in time today to pick up the kids.

00:30:32.580 --> 00:30:34.419
Because we don't want jury duty

00:30:34.420 --> 00:30:38.099
interfering with mummy duty now, do we?

00:30:38.100 --> 00:30:40.139
No.

00:30:40.140 --> 00:30:41.859
No. No.

00:32:23.660 --> 00:32:25.019
About time.

00:32:25.020 --> 00:32:26.660
Where are we at with the oh and s audit?

00:32:28.860 --> 00:32:30.259
Inspection's Monday.

00:32:30.260 --> 00:32:32.260
Yeah, checklist is over there.

00:33:16.540 --> 00:33:17.700
Flip!

00:33:19.260 --> 00:33:21.579
Flip!

00:33:21.580 --> 00:33:23.859
Mate, can you hear me?

00:33:23.860 --> 00:33:26.539
Flip!

00:33:26.540 --> 00:33:27.659
Shit.

00:33:27.660 --> 00:33:29.179
Can you hear me? Hey.

00:33:29.180 --> 00:33:31.139
Is he alive?

00:33:31.140 --> 00:33:33.459
Yeah. And we're *.

00:33:33.460 --> 00:33:35.539
We need to call an
ambulance. No. No, we can't.

00:33:35.540 --> 00:33:37.619
This gets logged in the system,
we'll be busted in a heartbeat.

00:33:37.620 --> 00:33:39.699
What did I * say?
He'll probably come too.

00:33:39.700 --> 00:33:41.539
Let's just... We'll just put him in the shed.

00:33:41.540 --> 00:33:42.739
Are you * mental?

00:33:42.740 --> 00:33:45.939
He just fell five * storeys.
We can't call an ambulance.

00:33:45.940 --> 00:33:47.020
*!

00:33:49.180 --> 00:33:52.139
Alright, get the car. We'll
take him to the hospital.

00:33:52.140 --> 00:33:54.019
We can't take him to the * hospital.

00:33:54.020 --> 00:33:55.339
Alright? We do that and we're busted.

00:33:55.340 --> 00:33:56.419
It's game over.

00:33:56.420 --> 00:33:57.742
Well, what do you suggest then, flip?

00:34:02.740 --> 00:34:03.939
It's alright.

00:34:03.940 --> 00:34:06.259
There, there.

00:34:10.700 --> 00:34:12.819
Stop, stop, stop. Go, go.

00:34:23.500 --> 00:34:24.939
Watch his head.

00:34:30.660 --> 00:34:32.059
Come on. Let's go.

00:34:42.060 --> 00:34:43.539
We can't just leave him like that.

00:34:55.260 --> 00:34:56.699
What the * are you doing?

00:34:56.700 --> 00:34:58.499
Calling triple zero. What?

00:34:58.500 --> 00:35:01.060
Calling triple zero. They trace those calls.

00:35:03.660 --> 00:35:05.419
What are you doing? Give me that.

00:35:10.860 --> 00:35:12.419
Maxi.

00:35:12.420 --> 00:35:14.179
Just...

00:35:14.180 --> 00:35:15.779
Wait.

00:35:30.820 --> 00:35:33.059
Balzac's 'sarrasine, '

00:35:33.060 --> 00:35:34.979
Oscar wilde's 'Dorian gray, '

00:35:34.980 --> 00:35:37.579
and Chekhov's 'trigorin, '

00:35:37.580 --> 00:35:40.419
all become smitten with performers.

00:35:40.420 --> 00:35:43.419
How important to Bart's thesis is it

00:35:43.420 --> 00:35:47.139
that simbalina is playing a role?

00:35:47.140 --> 00:35:48.579
Mr Saunders.

00:35:48.580 --> 00:35:49.900
Do you have an opinion?

00:35:53.260 --> 00:35:56.139
I trust by now you all have an opinion.

00:35:56.140 --> 00:35:59.659
Your Bart essay is due at midnight.

00:36:26.500 --> 00:36:28.579
Hands where we can see them.

00:36:28.580 --> 00:36:30.620
Get up. Hands behind your head.

00:36:32.900 --> 00:36:36.179
No, on his knees, on his knees. Ah, *.

00:36:36.180 --> 00:36:38.459
Don't swear at me. What's in your bag?

00:36:38.460 --> 00:36:40.420
My uni books and my laptop.

00:36:50.260 --> 00:36:51.260
Don't move.

00:36:58.620 --> 00:36:59.940
Get up.

00:37:03.340 --> 00:37:05.419
So, if I open this at the station,

00:37:05.420 --> 00:37:07.539
it's not gonna be full of uni
work by the kid you stole it from?

00:37:07.540 --> 00:37:10.699
Please, it's my laptop. I'm
a, I swear I'm a uni student.

00:37:10.700 --> 00:37:12.779
There's an English lit
essay still open on the laptop

00:37:12.780 --> 00:37:15.379
and it's due tonight, and
my lecturer's a real hard-arse.

00:37:15.380 --> 00:37:16.780
Do I look like a * idiot?

00:37:19.940 --> 00:37:21.539
Well, what about my bike?

00:38:10.420 --> 00:38:11.780
He's in the meeting room.

00:38:20.340 --> 00:38:21.420
Thank you.

00:38:29.100 --> 00:38:30.180
Thanks for coming in.

00:38:35.020 --> 00:38:36.859
We meet at last.

00:38:36.860 --> 00:38:38.819
You had your chance, before the committal.

00:38:38.820 --> 00:38:41.099
Yeah.

00:38:41.100 --> 00:38:44.179
I didn't want my name dragged
through the papers all over again.

00:38:44.180 --> 00:38:47.019
Belinda bain was a
14-year-old assault victim.

00:38:47.020 --> 00:38:49.419
It would be illegal for the press
to make reference to that case,

00:38:49.420 --> 00:38:50.540
even after 30 years.

00:38:52.340 --> 00:38:55.099
I know that now. Well, now is too late.

00:38:55.100 --> 00:38:57.700
Anything to do with '92 is inadmissible.

00:39:00.580 --> 00:39:02.219
Why am I here?

00:39:02.220 --> 00:39:04.739
Stay away from the court room, mr dokic.

00:39:04.740 --> 00:39:06.779
It's open to the public.

00:39:06.780 --> 00:39:09.259
The darkroom rapist
lapping up the sordid details

00:39:09.260 --> 00:39:12.179
of a murdered teenage girl?

00:39:12.180 --> 00:39:14.899
Nobody can write about Kate
Lawson's connection to the old murder,

00:39:14.900 --> 00:39:17.779
but they can report your
interest in the new one.

00:39:17.780 --> 00:39:19.020
She was already dead.

00:39:23.140 --> 00:39:24.860
Before I walked into that room.

00:39:26.780 --> 00:39:30.659
Are you telling me Kate
Lawson killed belinda bain?

00:39:30.660 --> 00:39:32.499
I'm telling you I didn't.

00:40:03.500 --> 00:40:05.059
What do you want?

00:40:05.060 --> 00:40:06.499
Lights out.
