This is the most-downloaded episode of JUST CASES and one of the most controversial. June 1996. Late at night, two young men cross paths on a Sydney street. When the sun rises the following morning, one of them will be found dead. 

The events of that evening are murky, but the resulting court case sent shockwaves through the community - and we still feel its effects today. 

Melissa & James: "While we're working on a brand new episode for you, we want to share one from the JUST CASES back-catalogue. This is one of the first JUST CASES episodes we recorded, and it's one of our favourites. 

A hot tip: after you've listened, check out the follow-up episode which also features Dr Kate Seear: 'How Can Safe Injecting Rooms Be Legal?'  https://www.justcasespodcast.com/episode/bonus-episode-how-can-safe-injecting-rooms-be-legal."
