Rickards, Shipton Schollum jury retires
Bob Schollum and his lawyer Paul Mabey Paul Mabey QC, in his closing
statements distanced his client from Mrs Shipton whose evidence was
challenged in court yesterday. Mr Mabey said Mrs Shipton was not a witness
for Schollum and if she had lied she was "a very silly lady", but
if she had lied it in no way proved the guilt of either man. He's said there
are too many inconsistencies in the complainant's story for the jury to be
sure enough of the facts to convict his client. Mr Mabey also said that while
it was not denied that Shipton had a sexual relationship with the alleged
16-year-old victim, and Schollum was his friend and knew the girl, this did
not prove the offence happened 2007-0228 - Stuff - Jury out in historic

Bill Nabney Brad Shipton's defence says the woman
accusing him of indecent assault has told so many lies she cannot be
believed. His lawyer told the jury in his closing address his client has
denied indecently assaulting the woman right from the outset. 2007-0227 - Newstalk ZB -

The Crown has described the
alleged indecent assault of a woman when she was 16 years old by three police
officers as a vile and sinister incident. In his closing address this
afternoon, the Crown prosecutor Brent Stanaway told the jury the woman is
honest and the core of her account is reliable. He said any inconsistencies
in her evidence are peripheral. Mr Stanaway said the offending was about
degradation and humiliation, displaying what the accused could get away with
because of who they were. 2007-0227 - Radio NZ - Closing
