Rickards, Shipton, Schollum Week 2 |

A jury's been told the Crown's
case against a high ranking policeman and two former officers rests on the
assessment of the complainant's credibility, and reliability. The Assistant Police Commissioner
Clint Rickards, and Brad Shipton and Bob Schollum, are accused of kidnapping
and indecently assaulting a 16 year old in the 1980s. Justice Potter has been summing up
the case at the High Court in Auckland, before the jury retires. She says jury members must
consider each charge and each accused separately, and must decide if the
complainant's evidence is truthful and reliable. |
