A City Possessed
Letter to
Editor
by D Hudson, Avondale, August 30
Colin Eades' belief (August 28), that Lynley Hood interviewed only
those who would give the answers she wanted puts him in a similar arena, that
many people have faced, when police will interview and use only witnesses
that give them the answers they want for prosecution.
Adversarial investigations bring adversity to determining truth, and many
cases are rejected at depositions with a thumbs down to the prosecution from
the judge but too late for the accused, family, and bank account.
Inquisitorial investigation should gather all the evidence for both sides,
then the impartial decision should be made.
Lynley Hood has gathered all the evidence that was available from both sides
of the controversy, impartially. If the jury had been given such an impartial
compilation of evidence it may have delivered a totally different verdict. In
fact, it may have been decided that there was not even a case to try.
