And what he said was after the committal, so after a magistrate sent this case up to the Supreme Court on a murder charge, police conducted further investigations.
They found that Marat Gagnev had been prescribed methadone for a number of years.
And the prosecution then changed the charge to manslaughter and the cause of death was changed from an assault that allegedly happened in the apartment to supplying Isla Bell with methadone.
So it's a very different cause of death.
And Justice Elliott sort of stepped through some of the timeline.
He said around the time that Isla Bell died,
was at Gagnev's apartment.
Gagnev has made a trip to the pharmacy.
He has collected some of his methadone prescription and taken these drugs home.
While at the house, Isla Bell is said to have taken a photo of...
What the prosecution described as an almost empty bottle of methadone on a table.
She sent this photo to a friend.
Now, later it has emerged that Isla Bell did have methadone in her system as well as several other drugs.
Right.
So you can understand now how this prosecution case has changed.
We also mentioned in a previous episode that the prosecution was relying on the CCTV footage, which showed apparently an assault of Isla Bell.
The defense had been very critical of this footage, saying that it didn't stack up.
And I think the fact that...
The charge has changed and the alleged cause of death has changed.
Highlights are they're no longer relying on that footage to link that to the death.
