Analysis

Why This Matters

  • The jury has now heard directly from the accused for the first time, a significant moment in the trial.
  • The allegation that he dobbed in a mate points to the possible involvement of others in the disposal of the bodies.
  • The case centres on a police officer accused of double murder, giving it broad public interest.

Background

The accused is a police officer alleged to have killed two people. In this trial, the jury has now heard his version of events, including an account of a trip to a dam where the bodies were allegedly dumped. The detail that he informed on a mate to police over the dumping suggests the case may also examine the actions of others.

What to Watch

  • The rest of Lamarre-Condon's testimony and how the jury weighs his account.
  • Whether police action follows against the mate he allegedly dobbed in.
  • Any further evidence about the disposal of the bodies at the dam.
