STORY: "Eastman's fiercest advocate cleared to rejoin inquiry," by reporter Michael Inman, published by the Canbarra Times, on October 4, 2013.
GIST: "David Harold Eastman's fiercest advocate has been cleared to
rejoin an inquiry into the prisoner's murder conviction if they will
have him. Terry O'Donnell was in February forced to stand down from the
inquiry he helped spark because he was likely to be called as a
witness. But Acting Justice Brian Martin on Friday paved the way for a
return by declaring he could see no impediment to Mr O'Donnell
assisting or being part of Eastman's legal team. Eastman has always maintained his innocence to the
assassination of Australian Federal Police assistant commissioner Colin
Winchester in 1989. In 1995 a jury found Eastman guilty of the killing and he was sentenced to life. The present wide-ranging inquiry was ordered in August last
year after fresh evidence emerged that could explain why gunshot residue
was found in the boot of Eastman's car..........The inquiry will reconvene later this month."
