Zachary Rolfe’s father spoke to a witness about evidence during his son’s trial, prosecutor claimed

Judge overseeing Rolfe's trial did not make any finding the alleged incident occurred but issued a general warning to court

Constable Zachary Rolfe's father spoke to a witness about their evidence and stared at them in an intimidating manner during his son's trial for murder, counsel for the Department of Public Prosecutions claimed during Rolfe's trial.

The court did not consider or make any finding as to whether the alleged incident occurred and no explanation from Rolfe's father was sought, but he has denied the allegation. Instead, Justice John Burns issued a general warning to all people present at the court about the importance of not speaking to witnesses.
