ACT attorney general ‘will consider’ jury misconduct laws after Bruce Lehrmann trial aborted
Canberra chief justice says current laws left her unable to punish juror whose actions caused trial over the alleged rape of Brittany Higgins to be abandoned
The ACT’s attorney general, Shane Rattenbury, says his government will “carefully” consider comments about its jury misconduct laws after the chief justice was left unable to punish the juror who caused the Bruce Lehrmann trial to be aborted.
The ACT supreme court was hamstrung in its ability to punish the juror who brought outside research material on sexual assaults into the Lehrmann trial, forcing it to be aborted on Thursday.
