What Happens If Bruce Lehrmann Loses His Defamation Case

For two weeks Australia has watched on as witnesses have described what they believe went down in Parliament house in 2019. Both Bruce Lehrmann and Brittany Higgins have endured attacks on their credibility and honesty as they have been cross examined over the night they returned to their place of work after a night out drinking. But with the end of the trial nearing, what happens If Bruce Lehrmann loses? Will he face a similar situation to former Australian soldier Ben Roberts Smith who has essentially been named as a war criminal after his defamation trial? The Quicky team takes you through the trial so far and the implications of a case that never got an answer in a criminal court. Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback? We’re listening!
