An accused homophobe has pleaded not guilty to the 1988 murder of American man Scott Johnson whose naked body was found at the bottom of a cliff.
Detectives stormed the Sydney apartment of Scott White, 49, in May 2020 and arrested him for the crime after receiving a tip-off.
An original inquest in 1989 ruled the death was suicide, a second in 2012 could not confirm the cause, and a third inquest, however, ruled Mr Johnson was killed in a gay hate crime.
