Brittany Higgins, Bruce Lehrmann and the complexity of rape trials
There's going to be a new trial, starting next year, in the case against Bruce Lehrmann, who's accused of raping former political staffer Brittany Higgins.
Mr Lehrmann has always maintained his innocence, and says no sexual activity occurred between the pair.
The initial jury was discharged after misconduct by one juror, who was found to have had research material not permitted by the court.
Today, criminal justice expert Dr Julia Quilter on the complexity of rape trials.
