Tim Barnett wrote: The report does not
recommend a Royal Commission of Inquiry, essentially because Commissions are
not usually set up to (in effect) relitigate a court case, but also because
there were better ways of dealing with what the Committee felt a Royal
Commission would have ended up looking at. Peter Ellis' guilt? We
pressured for a new appeal route to be opened up to him. Don't kid yourself OR
your readers Tim. The CCRC doesn't yet exist and even if it ever does
materialise why didn't the committee recommend that Ellis be its first
consideration? The Privy Council
option owes nothing to your committee. It's a poison chalice.The PC will only
look at previously examined material (severely limited in ambit) perhaps with
the exception of changes to the s23G evidence act. Your timing in regard
to the delivery report is craven. I wish you could read
my lips: History will be the judge of your ethics in this effort. |
