Liesl Chapman SC coming to town for the Eastman Inquiry

Totally read that as Lies! Chapman – great name for a lawyer

Would have been a good name for the police officer leading the Winchester investigation, too.

Totally read that as Lies! Chapman – great name for a lawyer

Liesl Chapman’s ” interest and experience in forensic sciences and DNA evidence” should come in handy…considering there is precisely zero of it in the case of Eastman’s conviction.

The AFP’s propaganda is worth a read:
http://www.afp.gov.au/about-the-afp/our-organisation/~/media/afp/pdf/w/winchester-the-end-of-innocence.ashx

Notably,
“The Winchester investigation was clearly a test of the AFP’s professionalism,” Commissioner Palmer said…
Yes, indeedy, it was. A test they failed with flying colours.

And the forensic “expert” the AFP chose to use? A bloke about whom the following was said by an inquest judge:
“”at best grossly negligent, and at worst deliberately deceptive. It is apparent that he has set out to prove Mr Parker fired the shots, and lied and misled to achieve that aim and protect himself from criticism for having done so.”

Geez, a bent forensic expert trying to help bent coppers put away a convenient nutter for the murder of one of their bent mates.

I’d say the AFP will at some stage realise they need to remove that link from their website and replace it with something truthful.
