Seeking consensus
Letter to the
Editor
by Lynley Hood
Contrary to the impression given by your article Author steps up call
for Ellis pardon (August 26) I am not an advocate for Peter Ellis or anyone
else involved in the Christchurch Civic Crèche case. Nor am I conducting a
political campaign. All I am doing is inviting people to read A City Possessed and make up their own
minds about the issues raised.
That people from all walks of life (MPs, lawyers, academics, journalists
included) are reading, thinking about, and discussing the book delights me. I
am happy to contribute to that discussion. Much of the discussion focuses on
the flaws in the justice system exposed in A City Possessed. My hope is that from these discussions a
consensus will be reached about the best way to deal with these issues.
