NOT GUILTY - The Craig McLachlan Case

NOT GUILTY – The Craig McLachlan Case is a factual true-crime podcast hosted by Vanessa Scammell, examining the criminal case heard in the Melbourne Magistrates’ Court and the events that unfolded around it.
Through interviews, a detailed discussion of public court records, and a close examination of evidence, the series explores aspects of the story that were obscured, neglected or misunderstood in much of the original press coverage. With a calm and considered approach, the podcast invites listeners to engage openly with the full complexity of the case, and to reflect on the consequences of “page one guilt” — when public judgement is formed before a matter is tested in court, and when allegations reach the media before the police.
Eight years on, the case continues to exact a heavy personal cost, raising difficult questions about justice, truth, rehabilitation and the enduring impact of accusation beyond a verdict of Not Guilty.
