The lawyer for convicted child sex
offender Peter Ellis says frustrating does not come close to describing how
she feels, after having a request for a Royal Commission of Inquiry turned
down. Judith Ablett-Kerr requested the
Royal Commission of Inquiry in January, saying articles in the New Zealand
Law Journal and an Otago University study cast both the convictions and a
Ministerial Inquiry into doubt. She says Associate Justice
Minister Rick Barker has rejected the appeal relying on a prior select
committee and the ministerial inquiry. Ms Ablett-Kerr says frustrating
would be "a very genteel way" to describe how she feels.
