Today the retrial of former political staffer Bruce Lehrmann over the alleged rape of Brittany Higgins has been aborted and charges dropped.

According to the prosecutors, the trial could not proceed because of the unacceptable risk continuing it would pose to Brittany Higgins’ life.

Columnist for the Sydney Morning Herald Jacqueline Maley chats to audio producer Julia Carr-Catzel, about the end of the Lehrmann trial and what it tells us about our legal system’s capacity to help victims.
