Episode 12 – Herring and Shark

The prosecutor Josh Phillips argues CCTV footage proves John is a killer and William Daniel a red herring, while Craig Eberhardt responds with a large display photo of a great white shark – and tells jurors it’s the real killer, William Daniel. Text messages between John and Shandee are read to the jury – but many depicting John’s menacing behaviour and his anger are not provided. The sample puts Shandee in a poor light. Justice Jim Henry tells the jurors he’s making a very rare decision to order Levii Blackman go into the witness box, after the prosecution refuses to call the self confessed liar.
