‘Shroud of secrecy’ over Lehrmann case: court
- Bruce Lehrmann, a former Liberal Party staffer, faces two rape charges related to an alleged incident in Toowoomba in October 2021.
- The charges stem from police allegations that Lehrmann had non-consensual sex with a woman twice during a night out, and the defence claims evidence disclosure remains incomplete.
- Lehrmann's lawyer, Zali Burrows, has described a 'shroud of secrecy' around the investigation due to unconfirmed police notebooks, diary entries, and limited unredacted material.
- Burrows expressed concern that the Crown has not yet been able to verify the existence of any police notebooks or diary records related to the investigation, and she criticized the selective presentation of text message evidence.
- The trial date remains unset, Lehrmann has not entered a plea, and the defence is seeking full disclosure before the case proceeds, with a hearing scheduled for June 20, 2025.
