A woman who alleges she was
indecently assaulted by three policemen in the 1980s says she is not lying or
embellishing her account to get a conviction. Assistant Police Commissioner
Clint Rickards, and former officers Brad Shipton and Bob Schollum, are on
trial at the High Court in Auckland, accused of kidnapping and indecent
assault. Defence lawyer Paul Maybey QC has
questioned the woman about conflicting statements around the number of
alcoholic drinks she had before the alleged incident. She's previously said she had 'a
drink' or nothing at all, but has now told the jury she had three to four
glasses. Mr Maybey asked if this was an
embellishment or part of her determination to see the accused convicted. When asked by the Crown if she was
lying or tailoring her story, she replied no. |
