One of the few times I have felt a slight stirring of sympathy for a defense lawyer.. gosh, she was all over the place, she had an element of real bone deep confusion, or disassociation going on. Not that the lead lawyer is on song, either,... but then, they are battllng on swampy ground...

Most likely on a restricted licence also... ie. only able to travel between work and home... something like that. When one is under a restricted licence, all and any vehicles registered in your name go on a data base that will pick you up out of your designated area. CCTV on freeways, etc...

He ( Stephenson ) probably didn't ( luckily ) have any demerit points outstanding.. VICPOL can indeed rescind one's licence on the spot... They can take away your licence on the spot if your reading is 0.10% or more, or it is a second drink driving offence, or you are charged with refusing a...

Have I missed the announcement of Stephenson's barrister to represent him in the Supreme Court? ... I've been otherwise occupied, and it's only now 8 weeks, not a lot of time for one to get across a defence of a murder allegation. ..... Unless one has been appointed and has been fired by...

There has been absolutely no connection made by either the Stephensons, the Murphy's , VICPOL, or the local constabulary that there is any connection whatsoever at any time between Mrs Murphy and any 'bikie' gang at any location in , near, around or far away from Ballarat. Bike gangs exist...

One has to wonder what sustains him, SA . How he manages to keep silence all this time. Something must hold him up, ideaology, revenge, retribution, vindication, aspiration, something. Something rejuvenates him every day to maintain his silence. Some do, though . Keli Lane springs to...

Isn't it interesting that VICPOL can pinpoint the time she was murdered. Without any input whatsoever from her killer.

She left to go running at 7am, not 8am. Maybe she was the earliest. The desolation is the attraction. Australia is full of desolate and silent quiet stretches of public parkland. It is what makes it AU. The area is not deserted, it is only private and secreted, a pocket of forest in...

I took it as the family being 'endangered'.. or harassed and hunted by the press. .. I don't go along with the theory of bikies, and gangs and whatnot. As yet, there is no evidence that supports that theory, only theory without substance, so far. This could change, but it has not changed in...

all the more reason to hold the opinion that VICPOL advised the family to shoot north..I have never subscribed to the theory that his family 'abandoned him'... . more , to me, a case of him abandoning their values and culture by a long distance, finally, but very quickly becoming involved in a...

I was interested in the action taken by the DPP ( dept of public prosecution ) and the OPP ( office of the public prosecutor ) in the matter of the murder of Emma Bates, back in April 26th. At Cobram, Vic. The same DPP and OPP that charged Stephenson with the murder of Samantha Murphy...

Whatever VICPOL told, and showed Mick about Samantha must have been irrevocably convincing, about her death, her manner of death, her perpetrator of her death, where she was murdered , and when she was murdered. Mick , obviously , has no doubts. VICPOL's claim is huge, in that respect, among...

It is now in MSN. It could have been way back if MSN had made the connection , like some beady eyed websleuther did, the missing middle name was misleading, or, perhaps, distracting. But it's a fair call now. The only thing MSN has wrong, is calling it 'new charges'. The incident occurred back...

It seems that Stephenson knew that charges were pending, probably due to tests being run, etc, because he obviously instructed his solicitor, David Tamanika ( Ballarat) to retain for him a specialist lawyer, as one should do, to represent him in these extra charges, which attract heavy...

It's a free country. People died for AU to have this freedom to not go to court, or to the bus stop, or to a pub if they do not want to. No one can make them., No laws say they have to. No one says they have to support their son in court. It has no meaning in the context of matters. End of...

The Stephensen family, mother father sisters, etc, are truly out of bounds of any criticism of their method of dealing with this situation they find themselves in. Any proposal that they must do this, or must do that , or lack 'grace' and 'simply humanity' and all the other pejoratives that are...

People just should not rock up to the bereaved on a mission to prove how 'gracious' and 'magnanimous' and 'dignified' and all that stuff one is, a sort of grotesque showing off event, ... , especially if one' s son is possibly the cause of the grief. Far better to wait , until the matter is...

For all we know the parents may have written or even had a quiet meeting with the Murphy's , expressing their sorrow, and horror at what has eventuated. We don't know. It is not improbable. People in country towns do this kind of thing, it's normal, and rational. Of course, this presupposes...

Of course they are allowed to leave the state, and the country if they want. The planet if they can. :p... There is no right or wrong way to handle this, No one is braver for staying or braver for going or less brave either way, it just is what it is. People have to do what they have to do.

They are not loaded with infamy. Who knows who Brett Cowans parents are? who knows who Adrain Bayley's parents are. Who cares about Baden-Clay's ghastly lot? who mulls over Gittany's crew? no one, that's who. Who is hounding the family of Stephanie Scott's murder? It's not as if the family...
