03 Kumanjayi Walker | Police brutality or just doing the job?
Description
Zachary Rolfe's trial revolved around a seconds-long shooting, which the jury saw direct evidence of via body-worn video footage. However, it was the intention behind those shots that was debated — and that Mr Rolfe eventually defended from the witness box.
In this episode, Melissa Mackay explains how Zachary Rolfe described his actions and intentions under cross examination, before the jury found him not guilty.
