Crownies S01E03 - Episode 3

Ben struggles to cope with the unexpected death of his grandfather while Richard is intent on getting the assailant charged with murder, even though the evidence doesn't seem to add up.

Ben is devastated when his grandfather Alfred is killed – brutally assaulted and left to die over a parking space by the driver of the car, Cooper. Ben is angry when he finds out that Tony and Richard have been given the brief. When Ben fails to ID the culprit in a line-up, Richard is left with scant evidence to press the murder charge. But the discovery of a deleted app on Cooper's phone gives them enough to prosecute. External barrister Rhys is brought in for the Stone/Mervich case, and chooses Erin over Lina as his instructing solicitor. Tatum listens to wire-taps for the Hammel drug case. But a potential lead turns out to be an embarrassing misunderstanding. Lina clashes with her brother Tariq over his behaviour. He in turns accuses her of abandoning her Islamic roots. Conrad is jealous of Tatum's friendship with Richard – until she tells him that Richard is gay.
