Lisa Wilkinson Testifies in Bruce Lehrmann Defamation Trial

Wilkinson denies allegations of putting personal interests above Lehrmann's right to a fair trial.

Lisa Wilkinson, television host and author, is in the witness box for the defamation suit brought by Bruce Lehrmann.
Lehrmann is suing Wilkinson and her employer Network Ten over an interview with Brittany Higgins broadcast on The Project in 2021, which he alleges defamed him by suggesting he raped Higgins in 2019.
In December, ACT prosecutors dropped charges against Lehrmann for the alleged rape of Higgins, citing an 'unacceptable risk' to her health.
Wilkinson denies that she put her 'pride and ego' ahead of Lehrmann’s right to fair trial.
The trial, which heard from 29 witnesses over almost three weeks, was abandoned after a juror brought in outside research papers on sexual assault.
