Ellis' lawyer seeks Clark meeting
NZPA

The lawyer representing convicted child sex offender Peter Ellis wants to meet Prime Minister-elect Helen Clark and the yet to be named new Minister of Justice. Judith Ablett Kerr, QC, yesterday said she wanted to discuss Ellis' case and would pursue his application for a pardon and an inquiry. Continuing his non-co-operation with the Parole Board, Ellis was not going to appear at its Christchurch hearing today to set conditions for his release in February.
