Broadcaster denies tailoring evidence to help Jones
Morrison rejected claims he softened his account to help Jones, saying he did not see the alleged touching and had no reason to raise it.
- On Tuesday, radio presenter Jason Morrison returned to the witness box at Downing Centre Local Court, denying he tailored testimony to assist his friend Alan Jones in the indecent assault trial.
- Jones, the 85-year-old former broadcaster, faces 20 counts of indecent assault and two counts of sexual touching without consent spanning a 17-year period from 2003 to 2020.
- Morrison testified jokes about the seating arrangement were 'making light' of the situation, rejecting suggestions he witnessed Jones place his hand under the table in the complainant's lap.
- Prosecutor Georgina Wright pressed Morrison on his 'long-standing pejorative view' of The Sydney Morning Herald, with Morrison acknowledging he found Kate McClymont's reporting 'a bit average.'
- Jones's arrest in November 2024 followed a 2023 article by Kate McClymont in The Sydney Morning Herald, which sparked the police investigation that led to current proceedings.
