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 ... 

Justice Wigney (interrupting): That seems to be entirely hypothetical, because no one was suggesting that version of events, so let's focus on how you say Mr Lehrmann would have conducted his case differently.

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

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