The Case Of · 13 The Two Intruders | What the jury didn’t hear · 27 Apr 2026 podcast

In fact, the police said in the end that the subpoena was just an exercise in trying to turn something up.

But it does point to the thoroughness of the police investigation, that they were starting it quite early and that they were not letting Mr Fabrizi out of their sights.

It was, and we all sort of sat up and thought, hello, you know, is he throwing Vakoni under a bus?

But when I read back through my notes about the things that were happening in the run-up to the jury being chosen, I realised Sky Jerome had really been

pointed to this quite a few times when she referred to her client as, you know, not denying being there and that sort of thing.

So she had sort of hinted that he was not going to fight that admission.

In Mr Vakoni's case, of course, he made no admissions ever and provided an alibi.

And even though it couldn't be supported, he still maintained he's never been to Canberra.

Well, she'd wanted the trial not to go ahead and she was aiming to find anything that could either temporarily or permanently bring that about.

Now, there were a number of points where she called for the jury to be dismissed.

One of these was to do with some material evidence

that had been heard by the jury from UCO Danny, and that was dismissed.

Then there was another about contamination, where you remember the tape in the house was said to have been contaminated.

And then late in the trial, the prosecution revealed that that possibly wasn't the case, that the error with that

happened in a different process, and some evidence was presented about that.

But she said that error was a problem for her client, and Mr Jackson backed this up as well, that they couldn't ask questions or challenge what had been said, that they should have known this earlier.

Well, it wasn't actually picked up until that time.

That's what the prosecution said.

So they tried again to have the jury dismissed.

That was dismissed.
