The Canberra Times has the make you cry news that the ACT Director of Public Prosecutions, having failed to apply within time, is seeking an extension so they can kibosh the inquiry into the Eastman conviction for the murder of Colin Winchester.
It gets better though because the Full Bench of the Supreme Court needs to hear the matter and they’ve all been involved at one time or another in David Eastman’s interminable shenanigans.
It all rather highlights that a city of 370,000 has no business trying to run a completely independent legal system and we really should just pay another state to do it for us.
Because we’re certainly not doing it well right now.
