Claremont: The Claremont Serial Killings

Despite restaurants and pubs closing, and events being cancelled, WA’s trial of the century will still be going ahead. In a last-minute, urgent hearing called at 3pm today, Justice Stephen Hall announced the news not many people, including the Claremont in Conversation team were expecting to hear. Court will resume on Monday, March 23. As Alison Fan explains in this special update episode, Justice Stephen Hall virtually told the court that nothing will stop this trial from going ahead, even if it’s the only criminal trial running in the building. What followed that extraordinary news was extraordinary, unprecedented measures implemented by the court to allow it to run. As the podcast team discusses, it’s so fortunate that this mammoth trial is judge alone, because if there was a jury, it would be likely that it would have been stopped, to start all over again in the future.
