Summary

As the pathologist tasked with explaining Irma Palasic's cause of death gave his evidence, he criticised the quality of the reports he relied on, revealing a surprising oversight. In this episode, Elizabeth Byrne explains to Stephen Stockwell how defence barristers used these revelations. The jury also heard about how milk was packaged for Canberra in 1999 — a nod to DNA evidence found on a milk bottle at the crime scene. If you have any questions you'd like Liz, James and Stocky to answer in future episodes, please email [email protected] . The Case Of is the follow-up to the hit podcast Mushroom Case Daily, and all episodes of that show will remain available in the back catalogue of The Case Of.
