After COVID delays, the highly-anticipated murder trial of police officer Zachary Rolfe over the death of Indigenous teenager Kumanjayi Walker got underway in the Northern Territory’s Supreme Court yesterday. The policeman is accused of killing the 19yo during an attempted arrest in the remote community of Yuendumu in November 2019. Prosecutors say 2 of the 3 shots Rolfe fired at Walker were “excessive, unreasonable and unnecessary”, but Rolfe argues he acted in self-defence after Walker stabbed him with a pair of scissors. Yesterday, a jury was empanelled, and reports note that there are no Indigenous people on it. They got straight into things with a viewing of the body-cam footage of the shooting. The trial is expected to run for 3-4 weeks.
