Coroner & Legal
This has been sent to all Tasmanian MPs in both the State and Federal Parliaments
Dear Tasmanian MP,
In this 2 minute video you can see & hear leading lawyers Chester Porter QC and Stuart Tipple (both of the famous Chamberlain case with its appalling parallels) expressing their grave and well-informed concerns that the murder conviction of Hobart woman Sue Neill-Fraser is profoundly, clearly unsafe.
Further, Robert Richter QC has personally written to Tasmanian Attorney-General, The Hon Brian Wightman, urging an independent review.
Dr Robert N Moles – former Associate Professor of Law, has investigated alleged miscarriages of justice for 14 years, and is the author of Forensic Investigations and Miscarriages of Justice, (2010) and A State of Injustice (2004 & 2010) among other books on the subject. “In the book, I set out the law on miscarriages of justice in Australia. I can say with confidence that the conviction of Sue Neill-Fraser does not comply with the Australian law on this topic.”
Bill Rowlings, CEO of Civil Liberties Australia, is shocked: “Police filter the truth. Forensic science is abused. (A prosecution scenario) about a murder weapon, and the judge agrees. A miscarriage of justice so blatant you won’t believe it possible in 21st century Australia.”
To redeem this tragedy of Tasmanian justice and restore full confidence in it – and if Tasmanian Members of Parliament wish to sleep with a clear conscience – please make enquiries about the case and representations to the Attorney-General asking him to order an urgent and independent enquiry.
A reliable and trusted justice system is essential for a strong democracy.
