NEWSFLASH! High Court of Australia quash conviction, order a retrial

What a great day yesterday was. It was a roller coaster ride - starting at 4am to get to the city to be in the lawyers office to await the decision that the High Court would hand down. The High Court of Australia quashed the conviction, and ordered a retrial! Justice at last!!

A positive omen?

When I arrived at the office today, 14 November, and turned over the desk calender - today's date had a quote from William Blackstone - "It is better that 10 guilty persons escape than one innocent suffers".

How appropriate is that! Than you to all those who have expressed their well wishes through both email and phone.

we have been fighting for a decade now to arrive at this point - will post the high courts decision as soon as I am able - it can also be accessed through teh High Court's web site - www.hcourt.gov.au

The wait is over!

We had news from Andrew's lawyers that the decision on Andrew's appeal to the Hign Court of Australia against his unjust conviction will be handed down by the Court on Tuesday morning, 15 November. There is a 3 hour time difference between Perth and Canberra - so Andrew's family, lawyers and supporters will gather at the rooms of Malcolm McCusker QC to await the verdict being phoned through as soon as it has been read out in the High Court. So it is a nerve wracking next few days! But we are confidant that the result will be positive. Andrew is calm - but spending some time pacing the floor as you can expect!
