Peter Ellis
Letter to the Editor
by Ian Morgan, Weston [Abridged.
- Ed.]
I am extremely concerned that nothing further is being done to reopen the
Peter Ellis case. As a retired school principal, I am more than just aware of
how easily it is to put suggestions into young minds and it is not very long
before these are believed as being true.
Having read the book A City Possessed , I am convinced that none of
the events took place for which Ellis was imprisoned.
Justice Minister Phil Goff has stated that he is not going to read the book
by Lynley Hood and is not interested in discussing the Ellis case any more,
preferring to rest on the findings of the Chief Justice. These findings are
seriously flawed, only going over the "evidence" and not looking at
how it was obtained, as well as looking at how impossible all these supposed
happenings could have occurred when the building layout is considered.
If Mr Goff has neither the time nor inclination to read Mrs Hood's book, then
he has a completely closed mind about new evidence and should step aside so
that justice in the Ellis case can be seen to be done.
