Justice Wigney: So let’s put aside the calling of other further witnesses – how could [Lehrmann] have conducted his case differently?”

Zali Burrows [for Lehrmann]: Let's just say there was a version of what happened that there was loud music playing and screaming or something else happening ...

Ms Burrows: It’s difficult to know, not being his lawyer at that time.

Justice Wigney: Well, you’re making the submission.
