The delegation made the trip to East End because Justice Quin said he believed it would be useful for him to get a better idea of the area as he is trying the case without a jury. The defence also said they had been unable to gain access to the prison farm since it closed in the wake of the murder of Schirn.

News 27 reported that some twenty people on in the court group trekked through the bushes to examine the area where Schirn’s body was found, where the car was discovered and the prison farm where the defendant Randy Martin was working on 11 March this year, the day the prosecution say Randy Martin Murdered the 21-year-old woman.

The defence also took a look at three new areas nearby but did not state at the time of the visit why they were pointing out these locations.
