why?
The central premise of this podcast is that shoddy police work, unethical prosecutors, incompetent experts, witnesses with false memories, partial jurors and pre-judging judges combined to result in a miscarriage of justice. And then the journo engages in exactly that which he accuses others. He accuses one key witness who had seen RF driving erratically of not being able to see into RF’s car. His own experiment proves the witness could have done so but he ignores that. He interviews a criminologist and tells her I will not give you my version of the case to avoid any bias, and then does exactly that. The defence’s expert witnesses on RF’s physical and mental state are interviewed without question. The prosecution’s dismissed without question. He says that there was no psych report but in the same breadth admits that RF’s psychologist supplied evidence. The Age should really consider withdrawing it.

Just because he repeatedly...Read full review »
