7NEWS Spotlight: Trial and Error Part II
8.45pm this Sunday on Channel 7 and 7plus
The shocking fallout from Australia’s most controversial rape trial continues as 7NEWS Spotlight reveals this Sunday on Channel 7 and 7plus bombshell new claims from key players at the centre of the political saga, including central figures who have not spoken publicly until now.
Bruce Lehrmann, who pleaded not guilty to the sexual assault of Brittany Higgins in a Parliament House ministerial office in March 2019, unleashes over the handling of his criminal trial and reveals his plan to sue the ACT Government for malicious prosecution.
His high-profile barrister, Steve Whybrow, also breaks his silence, revealing to 7NEWS Spotlight how prosecutors had Lehrmann in their sights and his belief the fix was in from the start.
And, for the first time, the public will hear from the Senator at the centre of the scandal, as Lehrmann and Higgins’ then-boss Linda Reynolds discloses what really happened following the staffers’ late-night visit to her ministerial office.
Nothing is off limits as Reynolds reveals the devastating hit jobs she was forced to endure while painted as the political villain in front of the entire nation before finally being exonerated this week.
In one of the most explosive 7NEWS Spotlight editions of the year, award-winning investigative journalist Liam Bartlett unravels the complete morass of lies, half lies, accusations and controversies that have surrounded the scandal from the outset.
Not sure if this relates to the full Spotlight story . Not guilty verdict this morning.

7NEWS Spotlight: The Baby Nurse Killer
How could such a pretty, innocent-looking neonatal nurse be so evil?
Lucy Letby was a serial killer hiding in plain sight.
Her victims? Vulnerable newborn babies whom she was entrusted to protect and care for.
This week Letby, 33, was given a life sentence after being convicted of killing seven babies and attempting to murder six others while working in the neonatal unit of a hospital in north-east England, making her one of the world’s worst child serial killers.
And while her nine-month trial revealed how she killed them; it didn’t uncover why or how she got away with her killing spree for so long.
In a major 7NEWS Spotlight investigation to air on Sunday at 8.45pm on Channel 7 and 7plus, Letby’s malevolence is laid bare as award-winning investigative journalist Michael Usher explores the psychology behind her twisted desire to take the lives of defenceless babies.
And perhaps in the biggest twist of all, did Letby kill for love? Usher investigates the bizarre love triangle that may have driven her to kill to gain the attention of the married doctor she obsessed over.
The most chilling 7NEWS Spotlight edition of the year uncovers gripping new evidence, fresh witness testimony and details of her shocking secret confession.
In a world exclusive, Usher also speaks to the parents of one of Letby’s first intended victims as they sit down for their first full-length interview to recount the moment they caught the baby killer standing over their little girl in her hospital crib.
Michael and Victoria Whitfeld say they caught the disgraced nurse hovering over their daughter, Felicity, moments before she was diagnosed with a collapsed lung, but their concerns about Letby’s behaviour were tragically ignored.
“I felt like I had my heart ripped out that morning,” Ms Whitfeld tells 7NEWS Spotlight’s Michael Usher. “She was doing fine, and it was just the suddenness of everything that happened… I just remember saying, ‘Come on, you’re going to pull through this’.”
The Whitfields are now demanding a thorough investigation into Letby’s interactions with more than 4000 babies who passed through her care during her time as a nurse.

7News Spotlight: De-transitioning

Yeah seems this story is problematic before it’s even gone to air. They used a picture of Grace Hyland in the story, which made it look like she regretted transitioning which couldn’t be further from the truth. Messy work from 7 there.
From her Instagram:

Post the link as just text ala google.coma (copy into your browser remove the last a and it will work, embedding stuff doesn’t work: mods any idea why?)
Apparently Seven have now deleted the video.
This is the set of images used. Also no promos seen across today in Brisbane.
New promo video
They edited the promo to “better reflect the story”.
Rob McKnight saying the program won’t be pulled.
