"A pox on Canberra" cries Justice Marshall

How many more appeals for Eastman, why wasn’t this evidence brought up before???? QUESTIONS QUESTIONS, so many rumours about this murder.

I mean how many more appeals does Eastman want, enough is enough, maybe this one will be different, and why wasn’t this evidence brought up before???????
So many rumours about this murder

Like almost everybody in Canberra (or so it seems) of a certain age I’ve known people who’ve had to deal with Eastman, and one bloke who used to live near him. He is a frightening and dangerous individual, and I’m quite happy for him to be off the streets and out of my way.

Furthermore, given the apparent impossibility of being convicted of murder in Canberra (at least until quite recently), the fact that Eastman was convicted, and various appeals have upheld the conviction, does lend some weight to the idea that he actually did kill Winchester.

However, if he didn’t kill Winchester, and is just a convenient local nutbag who looks good as a fall guy, then the triggerman is probably sitting comfortably somewhere in Calabria, sipping a nice glass of Sangiovese and enjoying the fruits of his labours. In other words, if Eastman didn’t do it, then the guilty bastard has got off scott free all these years, and the thought of that really irks me.

All the people who “know” the truth of it because their mate Barry told them the story while having a bong one day and other such nonsense should pull their heads in. In the meantime, a proper judicial inquiry should investigate this, and either exonerate Eastman (Allah spare me) or confirm his conviction once and for all.

Once that is done, we can get on with arguing furiously and anonymously on RA about things that really matter, such as the plastic bag ban, the lack of skill of Canberra drivers and the piss-poor performance of our local government.

So the visiting judge has spat the dummy because the Court of Appeal disagreed with his decision that Eastman was not entitled to yet another judicial enquiry according to his interpretation of the law.The Eastman saga has been a train wreck of monumental proportions.I think it’s time for a comprehensive review of all the facts and judgements to sort this mess out once and for all.

And then another one to review that one.

Well he’s approaching 70 so i suspect Soviet will be hoping that the nutter will cark it before we determine unequivocally whether there has been a miscarriage of justice in this fiasco.

Surely he is “Justice” Marshall …….

The last thing the DPP and their friends in the AFP want is a far reaching inquiry into the Eastman affair.

Very unprofessional. Wonder if he skipped breakfast: http://www.abc.net.au/radionational/programs/lawreport/decision-making-law-makers-and-law-breakers/2949072

Well he’s lucky, he has a place to go back to. Most of us are bloody stuck ‘ere.
