Do you concede,
having seen the photograph,

1:15:02
that a dog could easily
encompass the head

1:15:05
of a child of Azaria’s size in its jaws?
1:15:09
Well, if that doll’s head
is not being forced into the dog’s jaws,

1:15:15
I would accept that.
1:15:21
(murmuring in gallery)
1:15:24
Mr Harris, what is the purpose
of a dingo gripping the head of the prey?

1:15:29
The purpose is to immobilise
the prey immediately,

1:15:32
and preferably kill it at the same time.
1:15:35
There’d be very little blood
because the heart would stop pumping.

1:15:38
I have documented a dingo running
with a 20lb baby kangaroo in its mouth

1:15:43
over a distance of some 200 yards.
1:15:45
We’ve heard evidence a dingo in
the family tent was seen to shake its head.

1:15:49
That’s quite consistent.
The shake’s obviously intended...

1:15:54
to break the neck.
1:15:58
You are now to be shown videotape of an
experiment performed at an Adelaide zoo.

1:16:03
While you’re looking at this tape,
recall the evidence of Mr Simms

1:16:07
where he concurred,
because of this experiment,

1:16:10
a dingo could take out
a baby goat from a suit

1:16:14
while undoing only the two top buttons.
1:16:17
And is therefore reasonable to assume
1:16:19
that a dingo eating
a baby human being out of its suit...

1:16:25
is quite within the bounds of probability.
1:16:32
How’s our side doing?
1:16:34
Well, we figure we’re up against about
four not-guiltys and four don’t-knows.

1:16:38
- The women are the big problem.
- Remind them where they live.

1:16:46
Professor Cameron, in your view is there
any evidence on those articles of clothing

1:16:51
which suggests the child
was killed by a dingo?

1:16:57
I saw no evidence
on these garments to suggest
