PCA Report paragraph 92. Title from David and Goliath p189.

92. When testifying at the trial, Detective Sergeant Weir said,. "[At] 12.05pm I went into the house with Dr Dempster, his assistant and another officer. Some video footage was taken inside the house". From that remark, Mr Karam claims that Weir misled the court as he knew video-taping had been done as early as 1045 hours. He asks in the book "Why is it that the jury were told that filmin~ did not start until after 12.05pm when the tape itself shows this to be untrue?" 59 Detective Sergeant Weir did not say that there had been no earlier taping. This is clear from the video tape itself where time is shown on a grandfather clock in the house and it is documented on the scene log ("Weir and video in"). Mr Karam suggests he "established" that Senior Constable Gardener was filming/taking photographs at that earlier hour. We do not accept the allegation Detective Sergeant Weir was in any way seeking to conceal the fact. He was simply observing that the photographer video taped examinations conducted by the pathologist preparatory to the tape being screened for the jury.
