Episode Ben Roberts-Smith Arrest: Law Expert Reveals What’s Really Going On
James Glissan is a criminal defence lawyer who has stood on both sides of the courtroom as a former police officer and prosecutor, giving him unique insight into how Australia's justice system actually works.
In this conversation, we examine the controversial Ben Roberts-Smith case and what it reveals about prosecutorial decisions, media influence, and the fundamental challenges facing our legal system. Glissan breaks down the critical differences between civil and criminal standards of proof, the complexities of war crimes prosecution, and why this case represents a significant test for Australia's justice system.
We also explore broader issues around democratic participation, government transparency, and why so many Australians feel disconnected from the systems meant to serve them.
