‘Evidence Given in Unequivocal Terms’: Gaining Consent of Aboriginal Young People in Court

Abstract

In an unusual and headline-making court case in Brisbane in 1995, three Aboriginal boys were prosecution witnesses in a committal hearing in which six police officers were charged with the unlawful deprivation of their liberty. The case was somewhat of a role-reversal: in Australian criminal proceedings police officers participate usually as prosecution witnesses, while Aboriginal participants are generally defendants (that is, the accused).
