Bruce Lehrmann trial: How David Sharaz avoided the spotlight (Watch)

Bruce Lehrmann will learn on Monday next week whether judge Michael Lee has found he was defamed by Network Ten and Lisa Wilkinson when they aired an interview with alleged r-pe victim Brittany Higgins.
Ellie Dudley and Claire Harvey unpack every detail aired in the case, and what we can expect from Monday's decision. One of the key missing figures in the whole case is David Sharaz - referred to as the 'prophet Elijah' by Judge Michael Lee.
On Tuesday, the Federal Court advised that Justice Lee would deliver his verdict at 10.15am next Monday, with the judge expected to read an abbreviated version of his judgment, live-streamed on the Federal Court’s RUclips channel, with longer reasons to be published in full on the court’s website at the conclusion.
The judgment had been delayed by an 11th-hour intervention last week by disaffected former Seven producer Taylor Auerbach, who provided Ten with affidavits about Mr Lehrmann’s involvement with the Seven network.
Mr Lehrmann sued Ten and Wilkinson over her interview with Ms Higgins on The Project in 2021, detailing accu­sations that Mr Lehrmann had r-ped Ms Higgins but not naming him as the alleged attacker.
Ten and Wilkinson have relied on a defence of truth, in an attempt to prove Mr Lehrmann s-xually assaulted Ms Higgins on the couch of senator Linda Reynolds in Parliament House in the early hours of March 23, 2019.
Mr Lehrmann has consistently denied raping Ms Higgins.
