Closing arguments in Dewar trial

The Crown and Defence are to give their closing arguments in the trial of a former police inspector accused of covering up historical rape allegations against three police officers.

John Dewar is facing four charges of obstructing justice after the Crown says he covered up complaints made by Rotorua woman, Louise Nicholas.

He denies the charges.

Mr Dewar spent yesterday giving evidence on his own behalf and being cross examined in the High Court in Hamilton.
