NSW: Documentary evidence will contradict

A court's been told a documentary video .. and E-tag evidence .. will contradict assertions
by former Federal Court judge MARCUS EINFELD .. that he wasn't in Sydney when his car
was booked for speeding.

EINFELD and co-accused ANGELA LIATI are facing a committal hearing in the Downing Centre
Local Court for perjury and traffic matters.

The former judge is accused of lying under oath about a friend driving his car when
it was caught speeding on Sydney's north shore.

Crown Prosecutor WAYNE ROSER's told the court the friend .. American university professor
TERESA BRENNAN .. was EINFELD'S alibi on a number of occasions dating back to February
2003.

Mr ROSER says .. unfortunately for EINFELD .. Professor BRENNAN was killed in a hit
and run accident in America .. the day before the offence.

EINFELD'S use of professor BRENNAN was uncovered during the widely publicised police
investigation of a speeding offence in January 2006 .. at Mosman.

EINFELD swore on oath in August that year that he was in Forster on the NSW north coast
that day .. and that Ms BRENNAN had been driving his car.

Mr ROSER says mobile phone records and credit card receipts show he was in Sydney that
entire day .. and had lunch with media personality VIVIAN SHENKER on the city's northern
beaches.

He says CCTV footage and E-tag records would support this claim.

Mr ROSER says Ms SHENKER will tell the court EINFELD picked her up that day in his
silver Lexus .. but told her to say he was driving his mother's car before her first statement
to police.

He says Ms SHENKER's agreed to give evidence in exchange for immunity from prosecution.
