The ACT Integrity Commission will investigate the conduct of Walter Sofronoff, who led a board of inquiry into the criminal prosecution of Bruce Lehrmann.
Walter Sofronoff, the chair of the inquiry into the prosecution of Bruce Lehrmann, has demanded the ACT chief minister retract suggestions about his conduct.
ACT Chief Minister Andrew Barr officially tabled the report of the Board of Inquiry into the Criminal Justice System in the Australian Capital Territory – better known to the public as the Sofronoff report into the Brittany Higgins case.
Several officers who investigated Brittany Higgins' rape allegations are on leave and could seek compensation for the impact of the case on their mental health.
The Sofronoff report into the Higgins/Lehrmann trial will not be released for another month, but the Canberra Liberals have called on the ACT Government to release it immediately.
After 13 days of public hearings, nine witnesses and the receipt of more than 100,000 documents, an inquiry is about to consider what went wrong during Canberra's biggest trial in years.
