Former fraud squad detective committed for trial on charges of theft and fraud in Christchurch has been named as Michael Anthony Chappell. Chappell was the "intelligence Officer" in the Peter Ellis Case

Chappell is also the cousin of Debbie Gillespie, one of the women charged.


Good lord, how more incestuous can this case get?

Brent Stanaway, the Crown prosecutor, was married by the Anglican priest who was the jury foreman. The foreman also had a working relationship with Karen Zelas, the Crown's expert witness.

Another juror was in a lesbian relationship with the office co-worker of one of the main complainant mothers.

Det Colin Eade, the chief investigating officer, had sexual relations with two of the creche mothers as well as one of the welfare interviewing officers and also propositioned another mother who took offence at his charms and withdrew her child from the inquiry.

One of the mothers Eade had a sexual relationship with was an acquaintance of Christchurch Labour MP Lianne Dalziell, who believe it or not now lives with Robbie Davison, the former husband of crèche manager Gaye Davison! Robbie is adamant Ellis is innocent but he doesn't discuss the case with Lianne, who is a major opponent in the new government of holding any inquiry into this case.

Oh and I almost forgot, my co-worker Nicola Legat is a relative of Det Legat, the Civic investigator who drove miles from the city to find an elderly JP to sign a search warrant no judge would ever sign.

And it goes on and on and on. Is anyone in Christchurch not related to someone involved in this judicial farce?

It's claimed to be "justice." It's more like a bizarre soap opera.
