When a husband died after a long illness, and under suspicious circumstances, it was this episode's guest, Forensic Chemist Maggie Baron, who was tasked with searching for traces of poison with a suspected killer looking over her shoulder.

All before her 25th birthday, Maggie had held the hands of killers, armed robbers, and violent offenders…not in comfort, but in the name of science.

In this episode, Maggie reveals to host Liz Porter what it’s like to be alone in a room with someone who’s just ended another person's life, and unpacks an arsenic poisoning investigation that reads more like fiction than fact.

Does a venue owe you a duty of care if you've had too much to drink?

In Cole v South Tweed Rugby League Football Club, the High Court of Australia considered whether a hotel owed a duty of care to a visibly intoxicated patron.

Rosellie Cole had been drinking at the Rugby Club and became severely intoxicated. Staff offered her a lift home, which she declined. Later, after leaving the premises, she was struck by a car while walking along the highway.

Cole sued the club for negligence, arguing that it should not have served her so much alcohol and should have taken steps to prevent her from leaving while drunk. The trial court initially found in her favour, awarding damages, but this was overturned on appeal.

The High Court held that while licensed venues must take reasonable steps to avoid harm, adults also bear personal responsibility. The majority ruled the club was not liable, as it had taken reasonable steps, including offering her a lift home.
