Rickards, Shipton Schollum jury retires

The jury at the police indecent assault trial has retired to consider its verdict after eight days of evidence.

Suspended Assistant police commissioner Clint Rickards and former policemen Brad Shipton and Bob Schollum are standing trial for kidnapping and indecent assault dating back more than 20 years in Rotorua.

Justice Judith Potter told the jury they must concentrate only on the evidence in court and disregard anything they have heard in the media, or from other people. She reminded the jury the men have each been charged separately and if they believed one of the accused is guilty, it does not necessarily mean the others are.
