This isn't unusual.
It often happens in cases where there's an overlap in what the defence will be.
Now, in this particular case, it was poking holes in the forensic evidence.
That was sort of the best part of the best chance to
get their clients off and to introduce, you know, doubt about things that the police had put forward and the prosecutors had put forward.
So Sky Jerome did take the lead.
She covered all the common ground and then covered some extra ground for her own client, which was, you know,
that he had admitted being there, even though he says he was only the lookout.
So Travis Jackson was left with the job of pointing out that the only evidence against his client was the DNA evidence, and that was what he focused on mostly as well.
But they tried not to traverse the same grounds because then you could run the risk of driving the jury and everyone else mad.
Well, I think it had too many grey areas.
That theory sort of was to serve the purposes of their client, to put someone else in the house.
Now, who that was, they didn't really say.
They had suggested there'd been a group of people, a group of other people, but there was no sign, no DNA sign or fingerprints or anything of any of those people in the house.
They'd all been investigated, in fact, by police early on and rejected.
And then, as Craig Marriott, the detective who investigated this, said in the court, when it was suggested to him he should have investigated this further, he said that neither Mr Vakoni or Mr Fabrizi had said anything about this third person.
So it kind of... It was there to provide...
a seed of doubt for the jury, but it had too many grey areas and I think they just didn't buy it as even a remote possibility.
Well, I was.
Fabrizio was interesting because he was so remorseful and he kept apologising and looked very defeated because, of course, by then he would have realised he'd been duped by an undercover police officer.
