Overview
- Judge Craig Chowdhury granted Bruce Lehrmann access to an unredacted Cellebrite report from the complainant’s phone after a defence application first lodged in September.
- At Monday’s Ipswich mention, Judge Dennis Lynch adjourned the matter to December 3 to confirm disclosure and to list the defence’s permanent stay application for early 2026, likely February.
- Crown prosecutor Caroline Marco said the material would be disclosed relatively quickly, noting a discrepancy between the judgment’s specified message date range and the prosecution’s download.
- The first phone extraction was lost when a police officer’s personal hard drive malfunctioned and was destroyed, leading the defence to allege missing keywords in a later report and to seek an independent re‑extraction under police supervision.
- Lehrmann faces two rape charges from an alleged October 2021 incident in Toowoomba, has indicated a not guilty plea, and his bail was enlarged.
