PASSAGE OF THE DAY: "Two years ago, in 2023, I published the second book that examines this egregious miscarriage of justice, showing how the legal system failed Sue Neill-Fraser. On purpose. The Exoneration Papers – Sue Neill-Fraser – also shows how the Tasmanian Integrity Commission, the Legal Profession Board, the Tasmanian Law Society and the Bar Association have all failed to demand the proper administration of justice. The Tasmanian devil is in the detail."

POST: "Anniversary of arrest without probable cause – Tasmania’s legal shame," by Andre L. Urban, published on "the Wrongful Convictions Report' on August 11, 2025.
GIST: "There has never been a more blatant disregard for the rule of law – by officers of the law; when police arrested Sue Neill-Fraser to charge her with murder, they had no body of the victim, no murder weapon, no witness and no motive. And certainly no confession …
Sue Neill-Fraser is now on parole, after serving 13 years of her 23 year sentence for the murder of her partner of 18 years, Bob Chappell. Tasmanian police arrested her on August 20, 2009 and she was tried & sentenced a year later.

FINAL WORD: (Applicable to all of our wrongful conviction cases): "Whenever there is a wrongful conviction, it exposes errors in our criminal legal system, and we hope that this case — and lessons from it — can prevent future injustices."
Lawyer Radha Natarajan:
Executive Director: New England Innocence Project;

FINAL, FINAL WORD: "Since its inception, the Innocence Project has pushed the criminal legal system to confront and correct the laws and policies that cause and contribute to wrongful convictions. They never shied away from the hard cases — the ones involving eyewitness identifications, confessions, and bite marks. Instead, in the course of presenting scientific evidence of innocence, they've exposed the unreliability of evidence that was, for centuries, deemed untouchable." So true!
Christina Swarns: Executive Director: The Innocence Project;
