STORY: "Leading NSW (New South Wales) anti-corruption figure appointed to hear Eastman stay application," by Michael Inman,  published by the Canberra Times on December 23, 2014.

GIST: "A leading NSW anti-corruption figure has been appointed to hear David Harold Eastman's bid to avoid a retrial. ACT (Australian Capital Territory) Attorney-General Simon Corbell announced on Tuesday afternoon that Anthony Whealy, QC, has been appointed an acting judge of the ACT Supreme Court. Justice Whealy was a qualified, suitable acting judge to hear proceedings regarding Eastman, Mr Corbell said. Eastman has applied for a stay against the ACT Director of Public Prosecutions' decision to re-try him for the 1989 murder of ACT police chief Colin Winchester. Eastman's conviction for the murder was quashed and a retrial ordered after an inquiry found his 1995 trial had been a miscarriage of justice. Eastman's legal team has previously foreshadowed an application to permanently halt a retrial on the grounds that it cannot be conducted fairly. It is expected to be heard in the first half of 2015."
