Lawyers for Brittany Higgins accused ask to delay trial after Lisa Wilkinson’s Logies speech
Bruce Lehrmann’s lawyers claim proceedings must be put on hold to protect prospects of a fair trial after remarks that were ‘clearly a contempt of court’
Lawyers for the man accused of raping Brittany Higgins have asked to delay his trial citing “extraordinary” comments by Lisa Wilkinson endorsing Higgins’ credibility that they claim are “clearly a contempt of court”.
At an urgent ACT supreme court hearing on Tuesday, the chief justice, Lucy McCallum, warned that Wilkinson’s Logies speech and a later radio interview appeared to “obliterate the distinction between an allegation and finding of guilt”.
