Rickards, Shipton, Schollum Week 1 |

The Crown prosecutor describes
suspended Assistant Police Commissioner Clint Rickards as a trained liar and
practiced witness. Rickards has been cross examined
at the trial where he and former police officers Brad Shipton and Bob
Schollum are accused of kidnapping and indecent assault. Prosecutor Brent Stanaway claims
Rickards is an experienced liar as he spent two years as an undercover
officer, living a lie day in and day out. He also claims Rickards is a
practiced witness, having given evidence around a hundred times as a police
officer. Rickards has responded by saying
he only ever lied to the criminal fraternity and always told the truth on the
stand as a Crown witness, which resulted in a number of criminals being
convicted |
