The former boyfriend of a teen accused of murder leapt to his feet and pointed his finger at her defence lawyer while being questioned about alleged assaults on her."What are you trying to say?" Nga Falani demanded in the High Court at Rotorua on Friday.
Justice Geoffrey Venning ordered him to sit down as police in the public gallery moved into the body of the court.
Falani had repeatedly said he couldn't remember, when questioned on various matters by the Crown prosecutor Duncan McWilliam and defence counsel Paul Mabey, QC.
