A former chief prosecutor has ‘no proper basis’ for claims Janet Albrechtsen ‘infected’ the mind of former judge Walter Sofronoff over the Bruce Lehrmann Brittany Higgins case, a court has heard.
Here, the Australian’s Janet Albrechtsen responds the lawsuit brought by former prosecutor Shane Drumgold in which she’s accused of influencing a judge’s thinking.
RECAP: Former Liberal staffer Brittany Higgins in February 2021 conducted interviews with two journalists airing allegations that she was r-ped by a colleague on the couch of Liberal Senator Linda Reynolds in Parliament House in March 2019. That colleague was not named in the interviews but later revealed to be Bruce Lehrmann. Mr Lehrmann denies the allegation.
Ms Higgins, in the interviews conducted with television presenter Lisa Wilkinson on Network 10’s The Project and news.com journalist Samantha Maiden, also alleged there was a culture of cover-up perpetuated by the Liberal party to prevent her alleged assault coming to light.
