She is known for murdering contestants on The Chase Australia with her forensic trivia skills.
And Mara Lejins was seen heading to court on Tuesday to appear in a murder trial.
“She looks like the main character from Legally Blonde, but don’t judge a book by its cover,” 7News anchor Angela Cox said in a report Tuesday.
“She is actually a barrister acting for the prosecution in a Sydney court and judging by the competition, she is a formidable opponent.”
In addition to her work at Chase Australia, Mara is currently a prosecutor in the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions, a position she assumed in 2023.
His impressive CV also shows that he works as a Federal Prosecutor for the Commonwealth Director of Public Prosecutions.
The trivia expert also received a Master of Laws from Columbia University in 2023, graduating with highest honors and the Parker Certificate in International and Comparative Law.

“She looks like the main character from Legally Blonde, but don’t judge a book by its cover,” 7News anchor Angela Cox said in a report Tuesday.
Mara made an awkward on-air gaffe in 2023 when she made an ill-timed joke about food poisoning.
She joked that she had sent her boyfriend to the hospital because of her poor cooking.
While the episode was filmed weeks ago, its release was ill-timed after the highly publicized mushroom poisoning case in Victoria.
Mara made an unfortunate comment on the Channel Seven show when she faced a contestant who loves to cook.
“I’m also an amazing chef and when my boyfriend gets out of the hospital, he’ll definitely be there for me. It wasn’t me!” she laughed.
Mara took to Instagram the next day to address the awkward mistake.
Sharing a screenshot of a news headline about the situation, Mara said the misstep happened before the mushroom incident.
“I promise this episode was filmed before the Death Cap debacle,” he wrote.
