David Eastman will fight a judge's decision not to remove himself from determining whether a second trial for the murder of ACT police chief Colin Stanley Winchester will go ahead.The latest twist in the legal wrangling ahead of a possible Eastman re-trial will see his lawyers again push to have Acting Justice Anthony Whealy removed from the stay application, this time arguing their case in front of the ACT Court of Appeal. Prosecutors are pushing ahead with efforts to put Eastman back on trial for the 1989 murder of Assistant Federal Police Commissioner Winchester, who was shot dead in the driveway of his neighbour's home.
