Episode description
In 2019 a Northern Territory police constable, Zachary Rolfe, shot a 19-year-old Walpiri man, Kumanjayi Walker, in a remote community in the Northern Territory.
Last week, the murder trial for that shooting began. If a guilty verdict is reached, it would be the first time a police officer in Australia ever convicted on a murder charge involving an Aboriginal person in custody.
Today, journalist Hannah Ryan on the charges against Zachary Rolfe and what it’s like covering this historic trial from Northern Territory.
