In this video, I respond to some of the claims I have heard online about the Roberts-Smith case.

  • How the outcome of the defamation trial matters
  • Does indemnity automatically destroy a witness’s credibility?
  • Do the rules of engagement override the laws of armed conflict?

This isn’t about picking a team. It’s about understanding how the rule of law actually works when allegations are this serious.

The criminal process now carries a much higher evidentiary threshold, and yes I understand, the findings of the Federal Court are not criminal convictions. 

But they are not meaningless either.
