Former Australian army solider Ben Roberts-Smith has been at the center of a months long defamation case, alleging that that articles published in The Age, The Sydney Morning Herald, and The Canberra Times have wrongly accused him.

The allegations published in these articles were that Roberts-Smith —a Victoria Cross recipient— committed war crimes in Afghanistan, as well as acts of bullying, and domestic violence.

Australian Correspondent Murray Olds told Jack Tame that there’s going to be lots to come out of this trial, as the trial finds that the media outlets established the truth of some allegations.
