It was a miss trial due to a juror ******* up
They "****ed up" because it was tending towards a hung jury and one juror got desperate enough to bring in third party info in false rape accusations.

As big a train wreck as Bruce's testimony has been, people shouldn't forget that Brittany's cross examination in the criminal trial brought up a heap of inconsistencies, to the point of some even being clearly lies.

Whilst I am of the view that she was probably the victim of a serial pest, this might have been the better approach:

Tuesday, February 2
* Ms Higgins records an interview with Lisa Wilkinson for The Project.

Wednesday, January 27
* Ms Higgins and her partner David Sharaz meet with The Project journalist Lisa Wilkinson and a producer in Sydney.


Thursday, February 4
* Ms Higgins contacts the AFP to reopen her police complaint.

Tuesday, March 16
* Ms Higgins is offered a book deal worth $325,000 about her experiences.


Monday, April 19
* Lehrmann is interviewed by police.

April 2019​

Higgins goes to the Australian Federal Police (AFP) with her accusation against Lehrmann.

Later that month, Higgins drops her complaint and stops the AFP ‘s investigation, citing fears that making the report would be damaging for her employment

So she appears to have been pressured to drop her complaint, then eventually picks it back up when she's no longer working there?

This isn't really the slamdunk argument people seem to think it is...

Her dropping the allegations and picking it up again isn't my point. The way she went about it through the media and with monetisation in her sights, however, most certainly is.

The system had already failed her once; she'd gone to the AFP and been pressured to drop her complaint to protect her career.

Is it all that surprising that her first port of call wasn't necessarily approaching the AFP again?
 
There was no verdict due to misconduct of one juror.
Yeah but there was not a unanimous verdict amongst the jury at that point. With the testimony she has just given, if she had also been completely consistent and honest in her claims, I can't imagine anybody would not believe her.

What is the evidence that she was pressured to drop her complaint?
