He says he would like the inquest to be finalised so he can move on.Rolfe shot Walker dead during a bungled arrest in the remote Northern Territory community of Yuendumu in November 2019.
Under questioning from Ian Freckelton KC, for the NT police, Rolfe said on Tuesday that he did not resent the police involved in the murder case, including those who investigated him or gave evidence in his trial. These include applications for him to be excused for giving evidence and an application for the NT coroner, Elisabeth Armitage, to recuse herself from the case.Freckelton asked Rolfe about a series of text messages he exchanged with colleagues and friends that he said showed the former constable had not come to terms with the fact the force was a rank-based organisation, and had little respect for superior officers and police who worked in remote communities.
