Given the factual background of past violence by the accused, the expert psychiatric and psychological reports showing ongoing PTSD and severe fear at the prospect of confronting the accused, and the legal principle that the witness's state of mind is decisive and need not be objectively justified, the court was satisfied on reasonable grounds that the witness is a 'witness in fear' under s79B and that allowing testimony by live television link is a proportionate measure that does not render the trial unfair.
