Care to share the full text? Shooting from the hip as im on my way back from HK, but as Lehrmann well knows charges dropped and innocent arenât the same thing.
Canât read the article as itâs paywalled.
Is it related to this case?

Sorry it wasnât paywalled for me.
In November, the OSI advised witnesses assisting it in two separate major war crimes investigations that neither would proceed to prosecution based on internal legal advice. Witnesses had agreed to participate in the process often at great personal and professional cost.
The highest profile of the cases involves a suspected execution first revealed in 2019 by former SAS medic and decorated soldier Dusty Miller, who blew the whistle in a series of interviews with this masthead and 60 Minutes.
Miller detailed how an injured Afghan man, Haji Sardar Khan, was in his care before being taken away by a senior SAS soldier and allegedly summarily executed during an operation in southern Afghanistan in March 2012.
The second alleged execution case that the OSI has decided not to prosecute is against another former soldier. It was exposed by the ABC and is known within special forces ranks as the âvillage idiotâ killing.
Miller was also one of two witnesses to this alleged war crime, which involved the suspected shooting of an unarmed disabled man as he was trying to limp away from Australian soldiers.
Might just be a question of whether the evidence was likely to be judged to meet the reasonable doubt test vs the balance of probabilities test.
Depressing shit
