I’d be interested to know, purely for interests sake, exactly what was involved in their gaining access to the roof. Did they pick a lock, dig a tunnel, climb a wall and scale razor wire? Or just walk through a door and up some stairs?

I’d wait to hear what the defence lawyers have to say on that.

There’s potential for a lot of mitigating circumstances to be raised.

Escaping lawful custody. Even though they may not have intended to go further than the rooftop, they still escaped the designated confines of the BRC.

guilty of what Kramer?

We have laws so we don’t need common sense.

Have Corbell’s comments been reported anywhere other than the interview? I certainly care about the presumption of innocence, but I can’t really comment on this particular instance, since I don’t know what he said.

Crikey had an article just yesterday (free) by Margaret Simons on the Victorian media getting considerable leeway in breaching sub-judice contempt rules.

Vicki, put down the (pitch)fork.
