Jack Pappas to represent Russell Field

Haven’t seen him with a Lotus Cortina but he used to drive an old EK Holden which was in mint condition.

Who? Pappas or Eastman?

Jack Pappas. Somehow I don’t think David Eastman is the old skool car enthusiast type, haha.

Ran into the man in Bundaberg a few months ago. Spends his time between there and Brisbane besides the occasional appearance elsewhere as a pinch hitter. Went up a long way in my book when he participated in a few training programs at my work where he pointed out the things he looked for when he defended people.

Went hard, very hard in the courtroom. Left it at the door though

Who? Pappas or Eastman?

Does he still have his mint condition Lotus Cortina?

Eastman sacked a lot of lawyers as he tried to slow the grinding of the wheels of justice.

Ah yes, Jack Pappas who was famously sacked by David Harold Eastman during his (Eastman’s) trial for the shooting of Winchester. As someone commented at the time “surely being sacked by a fruit loop such as Eastman is a badge of honour”.

Is that the same Jack Pappas who once argued that his client’s dog could not have savaged a neighbour because the animal was under a year of age?

The argument goes (bear with me), being under a year in age, the animal was not a ‘dog’, but a PUPPY, and any charges relating the ‘dog’ could not apply to his client!
The man is a Genius

As always there’s always more to the story….and maybe the “more” in this case will be enough to get Mr Field off.

And if there’s anyone that can turn “little” into “more” it would by Mr Pappas.

If I had a choice between “Go to prison and be very easy to find for some Rebels who want to kill me” and “Stay out of prison, where some Rebels want to kill me”, I’d probably encourage my legal team to fight hard too.
