Dingoes Ate My Boyfriend Part IV

The latest from the trial of Bradley Murdoch, alleged murderer of Joanne Lees' boyfriend Peter Falconio. Over 70 witnesses have now given evidence and the wharf is still standing. I think the defence may have started, though this article doesn't say:
Two witnesses in the Peter Falconio murder trial have given evidence that they saw the backpacker alive, eight days after he was allegedly murdered.

Robert Brown and Melissa Kendall have both given evidence to the Northern Territory Supreme Court trial.

They said they were working at a service station at Burke in outback New South Wales the weekend after Mr Falconio disappeared.

They said a man they recognised as the missing tourist from newspaper photographs entered the shop on the Sunday."


Whoopsy! This is why having an actual dead body is such an important principle. Without the body, it's just too easy to introduce a reasonable doubt into Jurors' minds.
