A forensic investigator who is being sued for defamation by former Perth barrister Lloyd Rayney has asked the Supreme Court judge who heard the case two years ago to take herself off the matter, because she once worked with Mr Rayney's lawyer.
Mark Reynolds is being sued over remarks he made at a seminar at Curtin University in 2014 that there was "no need for a cold case review" into the death of Corryn Rayney in 2007, because "the offender was identified".
