Cross Examining Police: Kellie Stares SC

Episode 79

Sunday, June 21, 2026 • Duration 32:52

In this episode, barrister Kellie Stares SC shares practical insights from her experience on how to effectively cross-examine police officers. She explores strategies for dealing with experienced officers who are familiar with court processes and skilled at managing their presentation in the witness box. Kellie discusses techniques she uses to achieve fair outcomes, including carefully working through the paper trail, understanding what police guidelines require to go in notebook entries, and leveraging material uncovered through subpoenas. She also examines the serious consequences of “tunnel vision” in the prosecution of matters, and how it can negatively impact innocent accused persons. Kellie is presenting at the upcoming Criminal Law Conference and is nominated for the Terry Keaney Award alongside fellow members of the profession Rose Khalilizadeh, Cathy Hunter, Crystal Triggs and Elly Mason.
