In terms of bizarre court cases, investigative journalist Kate McClymont has covered a few.

But this most recent one, which ended in the conviction of colourful construction boss George Alex, was right up there.

There was a soapie star turned doctor, who gave evidence that jail was a “terrible idea” for George Alex.

Then there was an arrest warrant issued when Alex failed to appear at court in person, but rather, logged on from his hospital bed.

And then, maybe most bizarre of all, were some strange events within the jury itself, with allegations of drug dealing and failed pay-offs investigated by police.

Today, Kate McClymont on the case had it all.
