You must have extraordinary powers of observation to determine people’s intent from a couple of seconds of CCTV footage.

And yet eyewitnesses at the nightclub and security at Parliament House gave evidence that clearly contradicts your assessment of Higgins and Lehrmann’s state of sobriety.

Unless you sat through the entire trial and carefully considered every piece of material evidence and every sentence of testimony from Higgins, Lehrmann and all of the witnesses, you’re not really in a position to dispute Justice Lee’s findings.

Of course you can have an opinion, but it’s not worth much in this particular context.

No, I think you misunderstand what Im talking about.  I watched the interview with Lehrmann that showed footage of Brittany Higgins and Lehrmann walking into their office of employment.  I have worked in the hospitality industry, I have my RSA and I have interacted with my fair share of people inebriated and not.

In my experience, watching footage of the people we are talking about, I was not of the opinion that Brittany was intoxicated to the point of being comatose or anywhere near that point.  In fact, she looked like she was in good spirits.  I understand that this can and will change quickly, but they looked VERY much in control of their faculties.
