Bizarre evidence
Letter to the Editor
by H Young, Pukerua Bay
The trouble with
merely deleting the "fantastical" elements of the children's evidence
against the alleged Civic Creche abuser Peter Ellis, as every hearing of his
case has done, is that they do not exist in isolation; they cast reasonable
doubt on the non-fantastical.
If I said Phil Goff molested me, you might possibly believe me. If I said he
flew from the moon on gossamer wings and molested me, you certainly would not.
