About this episode

The episode discusses a crucial note found in a murder trial that influenced the jury's decision regarding Maree Crabtree's guilt.

A strange note found in Jonathan Crabtree's rubbish bin was one of the final pieces of evidence the jury saw. ABC Brisbane court reporter Talissa Siganto reveals what it said, and the role it may have played in the jury finding Maree Crabtree not guilty of murdering her son.

The Case Of is the follow-up to the hit podcast Mushroom Case Daily, and all episodes of that show will remain available in the back catalogue of The Case Of.
