NT cop's murder trial faces further delay
A Northern Territory policeman's postponed trial for allegedly murdering an Indigenous man during an outback arrest could be further delayed.
Constable Zachary Rolfe, 29, is accused of murdering Kumanjayi Walker, 19, who was shot three times in the remote community of Yuendumu in November 2019.
Rolfe was supposed to stand trial in the NT Supreme Court next Monday after his trial was twice postponed by the COVID-19 pandemic.
It could now be further delayed after the Crown announced its intention to seek leave from the High Court to appeal a recent legal decision related to Rolfe's defence.
The prosecutors will return to court on Thursday to apply for a stay of the jury trial pending the outcome of the High Court application, a court spokesman said.
A full bench of the NT Supreme Court on Friday found Rolfe's legal team could employ three separate defences in the trial, including that he should not be held criminally liable because he was acting in "good faith" when performing his job as a police officer.
Rolfe is charged with murder and the alternative counts of manslaughter and engaging in a violent act causing death.
He has pleaded not guilty to all charges.
