GIST: "In October 1982, Lindy Chamberlain was found guilty of murder and sentenced to life in jail. Michael Chamberlain, found guilty of being an accessory after the fact, was given a suspended sentence. A royal commission was ordered after a community campaign. In June 1987, it exonerated the Chamberlains, whose convictions were quashed. In December 1995, a third coroner's inquest returned an open verdict. Dr Chamberlain said he and his ex-wife had campaigned for a new inquest to establish that Azaria had been taken by a dingo. "We believe that new evidence will indicate that dingoes can in fact kill babies," he said. "I trust that the truth will now be determined.""
PUBLISHER'S VIEW: (EDITORIAL); The order for a new inquest is welcome even though so m
any years have passed. Indeed, it is of paramount importance that the death record reflect the true cause of death - and make utterly clear for posterity that Lindy Chamberlain is innocent.HAROLD LEVY; PUBLISHER; THE CHARLES SMITH BLOG.
