Ben Roberts-Smith granted bail

The legal proceedings against Roberts-Smith are expected to test Australia's war crimes framework in unprecedented ways.

Documents show that several indemnified soldiers are expected to give evidence during the trial, which is set to return to court in early June.

Corrective Services officials reportedly attempted to prevent media from photographing the disgraced soldier as he left custody.

The case remains one of the most high-profile and complex criminal prosecutions in Australian military history.
