A doctor sprang a surprise on the Wellington Supreme Court on Thursday. He had given evidence about a man’s injury, and was asked by Mr Justice Blair, for the benefit of the jury to point to what had happened. The doctor bent down in the witnessbox and produced an attache case. This he unlatched in quick time. “I have. a skull here, your Honour,” he said quietly, holding up at the same time the grisly object to full view. The jury had not expected this and were taken somewhat by surprise.
