Shipton, Schollum vs Jane Doe Page 2 - 2007 Trial of
Rickards, Shipton, Schollum Week 2 |

|
A key witness in an Auckland police
trial has admitted she has been discussing her evidence with one of the
accused while she has been testifying in his defence. Sharon Shipton, wife of former
Rotorua policeman Brad Shipton, admitted under cross-examination she has been
comparing notes with her husband throughout the trial. On Monday she was accused of lying
to create an alibi for her husband. Lawyers for Shipton, suspended
Assistant Commissioner Clint Rickards, and another former Rotorua policeman
Bob Schollum, finished their defence on Monday afternoon. The three men deny kidnapping and
indecently assaulting a teenager in the 1980s. |
