The trial before the High Court at Dunedin moved into its seventh day today with the cross-examination of the key witness continuing. Mr Eaton suggested the fact that Skantha did not mention the shoes after allegedly instructing the teen to clean them was implausible. Defence counsel Jonathan Eaton suggested an alternative version of events. The witness said he could not recall mentioning murder to them and if he had, it had been an "exaggeration".
