It is outrageous.

Yeah.

So, um, so yeah, like I'm, by this point, like I'm on my trip and I'm doing zoom calls and all the news stations and they're like, what do you think of the, um, of the, uh, the sentencing?

How soon after, did you have to come back?

No, no, sorry.

I waited another, this is why all these life events had the time to play out as they did because it took another 18 months to get from the first trial to the retrial.

Wow.

And I was just like, okay, I'll just keep waiting.

Which meant that I had done so much therapy and so much thinking about and compartmentalizing of the trauma and everything attached to it that I was pretty okay by the time it rolled around the second time.

And to the point where it was interfering with my life.

So on the particular day that I had to go in and give my evidence in the county court, so the retrial goes up to the county court.

Um, it fell on the day that I had to give a pitch to, uh, the major sponsor of sports grad Deakin university.

And it's worth a fair amount of money.
