Judge rejects intimidation claim in Alan Jones trial, allowing defence's financial-motive questioning

Prosecutor Georgina Wright accused Alan Jones's defence barrister of "intimidating" complainant J's ex-girlfriend during cross-examination at Sydney's Downing Centre on August 13. Judge Glenn Walsh rejected the objection, ruling the questioning — including a $1,200 fine and messages where J "promised" to "look after" her — was relevant to the defence's financial-motive theory. The witness denied fabrication.
