Trigger Point S1E1: Episode 1

Overview

Former armed robbery squad detective, Mark Wylie, states that Peter Reed was found guilty of his attempted murder. This is not entirely correct. Reed shot and seriously wounded Mark Wylie during a raid on Anzac Day 1986. Police returned fire and wounded the gunman, Peter Reed. Reed was acquitted of the attempted murder of the policeman he shot but convicted of the attempted murder of the policeman standing next to Mr Wylie during the raid. He was also convicted over armed robbery and false imprisonment charges. He was sentenced to 13 years, with a minimum of 11, over the attempted murder of police and 12 years, with a minimum of eight, for the armed robberies.
