Murray Olds: Australian correspondent on the explosive text exchange between barrister and prosecutor in Bruce Lehrmann case - Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive

A prosecutor in Bruce Lehrmann's rape trial sent several furious messages to Lehrmann's barrister.

The exchange, in which prosecutor Skye Jerome accused barrister Steven Whybrow of leaking sensitive police documents to the media, appeared in documents released by a Board of Inquiry.

Australian correspondent Murray Olds says Whybrow asked Jerome if the some question was aksed of police, because someone clearly leaked the information.

"The leak last December came from someone. Now, the big query in all of this- did police basically support Mr Lehrmann right from the very beginning?"
