Bruce Lehrmann's defamation case against Network Ten fails, after judge finds 'substantial truth' to story

Quick Glance: How Justice Michael Lee unraveled the Higgins-Lehrmann 'Omnishambles'

Justice Michael Lee meticulously unpicked the complex allegations in the Lehrmann-Higgins case with sharp clarity and meticulous precision.

Lee assessed the truth question separately for the rape and cover-up allegations, finding the former proven and the latter not.

He criticized Ten, Wilkinson, and her team for inadequate research efforts and found the testimonies of Lehrmann and Higgins unconvincing.

Lee's judgment provides valuable insights for future defamation and sexual assault prosecutions as well as for media practice.

Quick Glance: Arizona Republicans Block Efforts to Repeal 1864 Abortion Ban

Democratic bills to repeal a 160-year-old abortion ban were blocked in the Legislature.

Arizona's highest court decision upholding a 1864 abortion ban caused chaos and confusion.
