"It was as though Ms Yates was in a minefield but didn’t know it. The commissioner gave her safe ways out. All to no avail. She wouldn’t step on to that path." HUGH SELBY on the final day of the Sofronoff Inquiry's public hearings.
Evidence from police and DPP witnesses at the Sofronoff Inquiry into how the justice system handled Brittany Higgins’ rape allegations has revealed a shambolic trail of errors.
"Commissioner Sofronoff has been far and away the best questioner we have seen – not just for the content of his questions but also his personal style in asking questions," writes HUGH SELBY.
Senior Constable Emma Frizzell has told an inquiry there was evidentiary support to suggest Brittany Higgins had sexual contact with her alleged rapist Bruce Lehrmann.
