Controversial private forensic investigator Paul O'Sullivan made a return to Parliament this week to continue his testimony at the ad hoc committee probing allegations of capture, political interference, and corruption in the criminal justice system.

Although O'Sullivan's second appearance made for the bigger headlines, it was the appearance of his former assistant, Sarah-Jane Trent, that caused waves.

During her testimony on Thursday night, a visibly emotional Trent broke down several times, seemingly buckling under pressure and the glare of the nation.
