Constable Zachary Rolfe had the “state of mind” and “mentality” to arrest Kumanjayi Walker and shoot him if he resisted, and then lied about it to “justify the unjustifiable”, a prosecutor has told a Northern Territory jury.
The prosecution began closing its case against Rolfe on Tuesday, as his murder trial in the NT supreme court entered its fifth week. It came as a second juror was discharged, meaning both reserve jurors have now been engaged.
