1:34:02
without disclosing or revealing
it was carrying a baby.
1:34:05
It managed to kill the child,
with the jump suit all buttoned up.
1:34:09
If you accept Professor Cameron, it buried
the body, having undone one top button.
1:34:15
So, all in all, ladies and gentlemen,
1:34:18
it was not only a dextrous dingo,
it was a very tidy dingo.
1:34:22
(laughter)
1:34:26
There is some common ground between
Mr Phillips and the prosecution.
1:34:30
That is that this is
a case of simple alternatives.
1:34:35
Either a dingo killed that child
1:34:37
or she was murdered.
1:34:39
A dingo or murder.
1:34:43
Mr Barker shifted the onus of proof
from the prosecution to the defence
1:34:48
by shifting the emphasis from the almost
incomprehensible forensic evidence,
1:34:53
claiming it was a case
of simple alternatives.
1:34:55
He also claimed the matinee jacket
was a fabrication by Lindy Chamberlain.
1:35:00
Mate, that Barker blokes
as cunning as a shithouse rat.
1:35:05
Beauty, eh?
1:35:07
2:1 against for a hung jury.
1:35:11
Shh!
1:35:15
If ever there was a time when dingoes
were a problem at Ayers Rock,
1:35:20
it was in August 1980.
1:35:23
I ask you, and youll bear this in mind,
1:35:26
if your wife had murdered
your chiid in that car,
1:35:30
what would you have done
over the ensuing months?
1:35:32
Would you still have the car?
Would it have been thoroughly scrubbed?
1:35:37
Would the scissors still be left
in the car? Matters such as that.
1:35:43
If Mrs Lowe heard that cry,
1:35:46
you may think the only inference you can
draw is that it was Azarias last cry.
1:35:52
That Azaria was still living.
1:35:54
She was not and could not
have been lying dead in the car.
