An Aboriginal teenager was "in many respects the author of his own misfortune" when shot dead by a Northern Territory policeman, his murder trial has been told.
Senior police have "thrown everything at Zachary Rolfe" to justify charging him with murdering Kumanjayi Walker without "any meaningful investigation", defence lawyer David Edwardson QC says.
Constable Rolfe, 30, has pleaded not guilty to murdering Mr Walker as he resisted arrest in Yuendumu, 290km northwest of Alice Springs.
