 The trial was aborted when police evidence was shown to have been unlawfully "destroyed, missing and contradictory".In his judgment summary, Justice Martin noted that police and forensic evidence was consistent with a sexual attack on Mrs Rayney, while defence lawyers identified at least two possible criminals who "should have been investigated with as much rigour as Mr Rayney".In a prime-time TV presentation on 21 August 2014 that was dismissed by Attorney General Michael Mischin as "infotainment that is one-sided", Rayney, backed by senior lawyers and a forensic scientist, spoke out for the first time and called for independent investigators to re-examine the unsolved case.
