In a first since the Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody thirty years ago, the police officer who shot him is on trial for murder.

Policeman Zachary Rolfe, who has pleaded not guilty to murder and lesser charges, finally took the stand on Wednesday after weeks of evidence from the prosecution.
