The trial of Bruce Lehrman begins in the Australian Capital Territory. Brittany Higgins took the stand and, between tears, stated that she had a "strange adversarial relationship" with Bruce Lehrman.[1] Text messages and CCTV footage have been presented to the court.[2] A total of 47 witnesses will present evidence during the trial that is expected to take 4-6 weeks.[3]
The defence pointed out inconsistencies between Higgins' account of events and that of a female security guard that found her alone in an office in Parliament House.[4]
