Brodie Palmer, 29, is on trial for the murder of Indigenous schoolboy Cassius Turvey, who died in 2022 after being attacked. During police interviews shown in court, Palmer reacted strongly to images of Cassius' injuries, saying it was "sickening." Prosecutors allege Palmer did not directly strike Cassius but was aware of the attack planned by his friend, Jack Brearley. Palmer denied knowing Brearley well and claimed he was unaware of any plans to harm anyone. The trial continues as the jury reviews evidence and testimonies regarding the events leading to Cassius' death.
