Whom is Brittany Higgins?

On the norm -if a male has been charged with rape-sexual assault and the legal firm believes there is a STRONG case of being found guilty, they will engage a Female barrister to represent the client.

The theory is that NO female barrister would represent a guilty party.

This was NOT the case in this grubby matter.

Shane Drumgold SC to launch legal action over Sofronoff board of inquiry report
The outgoing ACT Director of Public Prosecutions, Shane Drumgold SC, has commenced legal proceedings about the contents of a board of inquiry report which made serious findings against him, Chief Minister Andrew Barr has said.
Mr Barr said those proceedings were yet to be served on the territory.
"Accordingly, it is not appropriate for me to make further comment in relation to the findings of and processes associated with the report and its release," Mr Barr said.
Meanwhile, Attorney-General Shane Rattenbury has said the Sofronoff board of inquiry report contained a "significant factual inaccuracy" about the nature of a criminal case as a result of misquoting reporting in The Australian.
The board of inquiry examined the handling of the Parliament House rape trial, in which political staffer Bruce Lehrmann maintained his innocence after being accused of rape by former colleague Brittany Higgins.
The inquiry found Mr Drumgold had, among other things, lied to Chief Justice Lucy McCallum and dishonestly tried to withhold crucial documents from Mr Lehrmann's lawyers. The matter is listed for hearing in the ACT Supreme Court on September 14

NSW DPP spots 'significant' error in Walter Sofronoff KC's board of inquiry report
Attorney-General Shane Rattenbury has said the Sofronoff board of inquiry report contained a "significant factual inaccuracy" about the nature of a criminal case as a result of misquoting reporting in The Australian.
Mr Rattenbury said the NSW Director of Public Prosecutions, Sally Dowling SC, had informed him of the issue with the report, which she said mischaracterised the handling of a NSW Supreme Court case.
Board of inquiry chairman Walter Sofronoff KC wrote that, "In R v Barrett a New South Wales Supreme Court judge ordered a permanent stay of proceedings because, in her opinion, the principal Crown witness was such a 'serial liar and fabricator of evidence ... that police refused to continue taking statements from him'.
"This was a case in which a prosecutor ought to have concluded that the case was not just weak: it was a case in which there was no reasonable prospect of success because of the unanswerable problem of credibility of the crucial witness."
But Mr Rattenbury on Tuesday tabled a letter he received from Ms Dowling, setting out the issues with the way the case had been characterised by the board of inquiry.
Ms Dowling wrote that the matter was discontinued by the prosecution, which was reported in the news article, Mr Rattenbury said.
"The quotation that appears in the Report, which is purported to be the opinion of the presiding NSW Supreme Court judge about the principal Crown witness, appears to be drawn from the first paragraph of the news article. That paragraph paraphrases the views of the Australian Federal Police, and is not attributed to the presiding judge," Ms Dowling's letter said.
Mr Rattenbury said Ms Dowling concluded, "In my view, this matter is not an example of a failure by the prosecution to identify a case where there was no reasonable prospect of conviction because of the 'unanswerable problem of credibility of the crucial witness' as suggested by the report."
The government has established an implementation committee to oversee the recommendations, and introduced amendments to victims of crime laws on Tuesday.

Grubs .

 

Just gets more and more grubby by the day.

Grub picks up women in a strip club/does cocaine together /consents to sex /then 2 charges of rape .

 

She's after money. Period.

 

Picked up in a strip club, does Cocaine, agree to sex, and then claims rape as per the QLD law regarding unprotected sex

 

Nah, he's a grub and a predator.

 

In that case they'll make a great couple,it'd get two grubs off the street.....one for the money,two for the attention and three to bugger off out of Aussies' lives FFS.

 

Both of these statements are probably true.

 

Not mutually exclusive, you know.

 

SNAP

 

It's just not worth the risk having sex any more, even with service providers.

 

Can't wait for the story to be bought and photos of the victim

 

He has form now. Would you let him go out with your daughter?

 

Hence GG, GAD, AMOT etc[emoji3][emoji3][emoji3]

Poor Charles. [emoji41]

 

Nothing's proven, so he doesn't have form. And I wouldn't let that strange f*** within a thousand miles of my daughter, but I have a different burden of proof than the courts.

 

IMO, he got lucky with the first trial being abandoned. He seems to have a penchant for drunk girls…..In any case, anyone with a beard like that must be a sicko

 

Yep sorted and the count is two so far!

 

Nah. This is a slippery slope, where the media and forums like this one can stir things up, when, in fact, there's very little evidence of anything. The previous case would have collapsed, as will this one. Follow the money.

 

Spot on.

I wouldn’t be at all surprised if we discover a political connection as this plays out.

I bet the exact scenario (whether old ****s like us find it distasteful or not) plays out thousands of times every Friday night amongst the white collar class.

Why has this one become what it has? Take a wild guess.

 

Because he's a serial rapist using the media and dickheads to dodge convictions

 

A distraction to the way Albo is running the Nation?

 

You're drinking the Kool Aid

 

I'd believe the women, that ugly **** couldn't get his hand to do the job
