DAY IN COURT: Assistant Police

Police chief pleads not guilty
Assistant Police Commissioner Clint Rickards wore his police uniform on the first day of his trial for the rape of a Rotorua teenager, Louise Nicholas.
Some 20 years after the alleged sexual abuse, he stood in the dock of an Auckland courtroom yesterday as the indictment outlining charges against him was read. He answered each charge in a clear, strong voice: "Not guilty."
His plea was echoed by two former police officers standing in the dock next to him, Brad Shipton and Bob Schollum.
The trio face a total of 20 sex charges based on complaints by Ms Nicholas, who says she was sexually abused as an 18-year-old in 1985 and 1986, when the men were all police officers based in Rotorua.
The men are accused of raping her on various occasions, including one incident in which the three are alleged to have all been involved in a rape and an indecent assault with a police baton.
Shipton and Rickards face representative charges for forced intercourse and oral sex alleged to have occurred prior to the baton incident.
The three-week trial, in the High Court at Auckland, is expected to get under way properly today, with prosecutor Brent Stanaway outlining the Crown's case in more detail.
The prosecution plans to call between 40 and 45 witnesses.
A jury comprising five men and seven women was selected yesterday, but no evidence was presented as pre-trial legal arguments had yet to be heard.
Wide-ranging suppression orders preventing discussion of the case in the media were lifted, though Justice Tony Randerson made orders preventing the publication of some evidence to be called in the coming weeks.
Queen's Counsel John Haigh and Paul Mabey are representing Rickards and Schollum, and Bill Nabney is representing Shipton.
