![]() These include Saxon Mullins, a young woman who was the complainant in a rape case that involved two trials, two appeals, and judicial errors. The book is further inspired by detailed consideration of the experience of complainants in two high-profile cases, which Milligan had previously covered in Sydney and Melbourne. Witness is both a gripping revelation of rarely-heard experts' opinions about the realities and flaws of criminal procedure, and a devastating critique of the system. Informed by Milligan's two decades of experience as an investigative journalist, including her specialist work as a court reporter and her sustained coverage of the trials of George Pell, her analysis is enriched by in-depth interviews with prosecutors, defence counsel, solicitors, judges and academics. Louise Milligan's new book, Witness, is an excoriating critique of the failures of the criminal justice system in sexual assault trials.
