Roberts-Smith Trial Deepens with Redacted Names | Perth News
Description
Ben Roberts-Smith’s war crime trial is heating up as prosecutors unveil over 4,000 documents—only to hide more than 500 names behind pseudonyms, sparking a legal tug-of-war. The defense demands transparency, arguing non-sensitive identities should be revealed to properly assess the evidence, especially involving current soldiers. With charges pending and no plea entered, the court juggles fairness with secrecy, implementing strict protocols—including remote testimony and screen-shielded appearances—for sensitive personnel. Roberts-Smith remains on bail as the case inches toward a pivotal update next month.
