If I could just ask you to look at page 55. Perhaps I'll ask you to go back to page 54 so that we can just put the time frame in context. Can you see on page 54 that Ms O'Connor started to ask you questions about things that happened on 14 November? Do you see that? It's about seven questions down?---Yes.
And that that was a Tuesday?---Yes.
...
And what you described to the court on that occasion about the mowing of the lawn was true?---Yes.
About [the appellant] smoking marijuana; that was true?---Yes.
About when he was smoking marijuana he would start accusing you of sleeping with people; that was true?---Yes.
And that he did that on that particular day?---Yes.
And that his mood, when he was saying that, was nasty and violent. That was true?---Yes.
That you were saying to him, 'I haven't, I've been faithful'?---Yes.
So all of that is true, isn't it?---Yes.
And that when you said that he kept telling you that you were lying. Is that true?---Yes.
And he kicked you in the leg?---Yep.
Were you sitting in a chair at the time?---Yes.
And it happened in the lounge. Is that right?---Yes.
So all of that is true?---Yep.
And then you go on and you talk about [the appellant] reaching over for a dart. Do you see that, about the middle of the page at page 55? At the middle of the page you said, 'Then he reached over for a dart or reached over for his backpack and pulled out a dart'?---Yes.
I'm not going to put everything to you, [RJ], but I'm just asking you whether you can recall some of these things. Was that true?---Yes.
Did he then say, 'This is what they can look at when they see you naked'?---Yes.
You can recall that?---Yes.
And you believe that he was talking about his friends and family at that time. Is that right?---Yep.
And you then went on at page 56, [RJ], to talk about what he did with the dart, didn't you?---Yep.
That he stabbed you in the leg?---Yep.
That he said to you, about five questions down, 'I'm going to make you ugly.' He said that to you, didn't he?---Yes.
And he said - sorry, and you then said, 'That's when he started to engrave into my breasts first,' and that was true, wasn't it?---Yes.
Did he start with the initial, 'RN is a dog,' on your left breast?---Yes.
And then did he put 'MN sux' on your left arm?---Yes.
And he did all of that with the dart, didn't he?---Yes.
And you thought that he was going to stab and kill you at that time, didn't you?---Yeah, I think - yeah.
All of that, that you said to the court, was true, wasn't it?---Yeah. I knew he wasn't - - -
And you agree with me - - -?---I didn't think he would kill me. I thought he was going to stab me. I didn't think he was going to kill me.
...
Is it the case that you now don't remember what you were thinking at the time?---I was scared. I was scared of him.
And you were screaming for him to stop, weren't you?---Yeah.
...
But is it true that after sitting down and smoking more drugs he kept accusing you of doing things that you hadn't done. Is that right?---Yes.
You pleaded with him that you were faithful and honest, but then he got up and punched you in the face, right on the nose. Correct?---Yes.
So all of that was true?---Yep.
And is it the case, [RJ], that eventually you wanted to go to sleep at night?---At night-time, yes.
...
I'm asking you whether it was true that before you went to sleep that night he wanted sex?---Yep.
So you told the court the truth about that, didn't you?---Yeah.
Next question, 'He did want sex?' You said, 'He always wanted sex, yes'?---Yep.
Then over the page, 'How did you know he wanted sex?' 'Because he said he wanted sex.' Was that true?---Yeah, by kissing me and hugging me he did, yes.
'Because he said he wanted sex,' [RJ]. That was true, wasn't it?---No.
...
But you said at that time, 'Because he said he wanted sex,' and there was no reason, was there, for you to lie about that?---No.
You were asked the question, 'What did you do or say?' Your answer was, 'I had to agree I wanted sex.' Correct?---Well, yes.
And you were telling the truth to the court when you said that in April of 2008?---Yes, I wanted sex.
No, that's not what you said. You said, 'I had to agree I wanted sex,' [RJ], and you were telling the court the truth about that, weren't you?---Yes.
Because you were then asked the question, 'How were you feeling at that point?' and you said, 'Sore and scared to say no to sex.' Correct?---That's because I was kissing him and that, yes.
[RJ], the answer you gave was that you were feeling sore and scared to say no to sex. Look at it?---Yep.
That's the answer you gave. Do you agree?---Yep.
And it was the truth when you gave that answer, wasn't it?---Yeah.
You were then asked the question, [RJ], 'Did you want to have sex?' and your answer was, 'No.' Do you see that?---Yes.
And you were telling the truth at that time, weren't you, [RJ]?---No.
You say no?---Yes.
Why were you not telling the truth at that time, [RJ]?---I can't remember. I don't know.
You knew you had to tell the truth. Correct?---Yes.
...
Is it the case that you believed that what was in your statement at that time was the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth?---Yep.
...
You didn't have your statement in front of you, did you?---No.
So you were trying to actually recall the events that happened back in November of 2006 when you were being asked questions, weren't you?---Yeah.
You were trying to bring back a mental image of what happened and describe it to the jury. Correct?---I was just trying to remember my statement, yes.
[RJ], what you were trying to do was remember the actual events that happened in November of 2006. Do you agree with that?---Yeah.
...
You see, when you described all of those earlier things to the jury during the trial, about [the appellant] using the dart to engrave on your breast and on your arm, punching you in the nose and face, those were all things that you could actually remember happening?---Yes.
You had a vivid image of all of that in your mind, didn't you?---Yep.
And you could also remember at that time that you were sore and scared to say no to [the appellant] when he asked for sex. Do you agree with that?---Yes.
You see you were then asked, 'So what happened?' and you said, 'He would have just had sex with me while I was laying there.' You were told, 'Don't talk about what he would have done,' and you said, 'He did.' And you were asked the question, 'Can you actually remember what he did?' and you said, 'Yes, he did.' Going on to what he did do, 'What can you remember him doing?' You said, 'He just pulled down my pants, pulled down his shorts and then he just laid on top of me until he ejaculated, put his penis inside me.' All of that was true. Correct?---Yep.
You said that it was inside your vagina. You were then asked the question, 'Did you want him to do that?' Your answer was, 'No, I was too scared to say no.' That was your answer?---That was my answer, yep.
And that was the truth, wasn't it?---No.
Why did you not tell the truth about that, [RJ]?---I don't remember. I don't know why.
...
FIANNACA, MR: Do you see over the page, at the top of page 60, [RJ], you're asked, 'How was your nose feeling at that time?' and you said, 'It was sore'?---Mm'hm.
You were then asked how long it went for; you said about 10 - then you said three minutes. You're then asked, 'What were you doing during that time?' Your answer was, 'Concentrating on pretending that I liked it.' Do you see that?---Yep.
Was that true, [RJ]?---I don't know. I can't answer that.
Is it the case that you now can't remember?---No. I can't answer that.
...
You said to the jury on this occasion that during the time of the sex - the act - that you were concentrating on pretending that you liked it. Now, that was the truth, wasn't it?---Yeah, I was trying to - - -
Your recollection at that time was that that's what you were doing?---Was trying to enjoy it, yes.
Well, that you were pretending that you liked it. Correct?---I was trying to enjoy it.
You were asked the question why were you pretending and you said, 'Because he would get violent if I didn't look like I liked it'?---Yes.
Now, that was the truth, wasn't it?---Yes.
That you pretended to like it because otherwise you thought he would get violent towards you. That's the truth - - - ?---Yeah.
- - - [RJ], isn't it?---Yep.
And when you were asked, 'How did you know he would get violent?' you said, 'Because he had been violent before,' and that was true too, wasn't it?---Yes (appeal ts 28 - 30, 32 - 37).
