“Today you said you saw Brodie and only Brodie breaking poles off trolleys, and you also said a month ago you were not sure if you saw Jack in a statement,” he said.
Jack Steven James Brearley, 23, Brodie Lee Palmer, 29, Mitchell Colin Forth, 26, and Aleesha Louise Gilmore, 23, are on trial in the West Australian supreme court for his murder and have denied murdering him.
Tyler, who was 18 at the time, said the accused were “a little bit drunk” and “rowdy” before they drove off to look for the group of people they believed were threatening to damage the Gilmores’ home.
Tyler agreed he was guessing before admitting he lied to police in the days after Cassius died about not knowing why the allegedly armed group had left the house in Palmer’s ute.
An Indigenous teenager’s alleged killers were drunk, rowdy and packing weapons, a witness has said, before admitting he lied under oath at a murder trial.
