Ellis case was a waste of so much
by E Williams, Christchurch
The only new-old
allegations against Peter Ellis to warrant yet another "hysterical
bandwagon" against him will be proof he really was "the Devil
incarnate."
So Dr Read (Sunday News Nov 30) need not leap on that particular bandwagon.
Melanie Reid and David McLoughlin are both reputable journalists who were
involved in this case from the beginning and doing their own investigations
gained first-hand knowledge - not second-hand from text books and the
writings of others.
It seems only those who believe are on the side of the angels and those who
doubt are in denial and those who disagree with the logic are in league with
the Devil. If the police, public, parents, psychologists and councillors had
not jumped on that first bandwagon, created by hysteria imported from the US we could
have been spared hundreds of hours of agony, millions of dollars and multi
millions of words and hundreds of shattered lives.
