There's a lot of material that's presented in court.

You've got to distill it as you do with anybody else.

I mean, people are going to court

because they have to, they're there because they're, it's, it's the ultimate way of getting answers to, to what happened to somebody.

And this is no different to anybody that has to suffer through a murder trial where a loved one has been taken away from them.

Uh, but the difference in this case is that time period, a 40 year time period

No worries at all.

Special Crime Squad detectives extradited Reddington back to Perth.

They were experiencing marriage difficulties and Reddington thought he would suffer financially if she left him.

The fact that there was no body, the fact that the time between the prosecution and the events was so long, 40 years.

And while people remember the last time they saw her, there were no witnesses to the crime.

The interesting thing about this one was the challenge for the prosecution because of the lack of evidence.

Other murder trials, including ones that have finished just recently,

what you end up with, with a couple of people who are accused of murder and they all blaming each other.

And that's what it comes down to.

But there's little argument about the fact that somebody is deceased because you have a body.

you have a post-mortem and you have all of this other evidence in the court, which makes it less of a challenge for the prosecution to convince a jury that a murder has occurred.

But in this case, they had to convince the jury that a murder had occurred.

The lack of evidence, I think, is what stood out to me.

And from the very beginning, you sort of thought, wow, this is going to be very difficult for the prosecution.
