Lehrmann Case Adjourned as Defence Seeks Independent Phone Extraction

The judge will consider the stay bid only after a new phone download is produced.

Overview

  • Ipswich District Court adjourned the matter to November 17 and declined to list the stay application until all disclosure is filed.
  • The defence said the first Cellebrite extraction was lost after a police hard drive malfunction.
  • Counsel reported that keywords appear missing in the second extraction and requested a fresh, independently supervised re-extraction.
  • Prosecutors said another copy of the complainant's phone download would be provided this week, attributing delay to the investigating officer being on leave.
  • The Crown will oppose outside expert access to the phone, and Bruce Lehrmann denies the two rape charges.
