Fleming's barrister, Richard Button, SC, challenged the officer in charge, Detective Sergeant Ashley Bryant, during Fleming's committal hearing yesterday. "Did you think at the time that it was legal for this trick to be played on the defendant?" he asked.

The officer just asked for a map, the murderer provided the spit sample of his own accord.

Wasn't the intent of the exercise to gain a DNA sample? If so it was an unwarranted search. I think the police may be on shaky ground.
