And I thought the trial abandonment and subsequent Higgins $3 million payout, was because she was to frail to face any more court hearings.

The retrial of former political staffer Bruce Lehrmann over the alleged rape of Brittany Higgins has been aborted and the charges dropped, because of serious concerns about Higgins’ mental health.
Director of Public Prosecutions for the ACT, Shane Drumgold, SC, told a waiting media pack on Friday morning the trial would not proceed.
Drumgold said it was no longer in the public interest to continue because of the risk to the complainant’s life.
