Bowraville specifically as discussed few posts before.BBM - May I ask what Court you are talking about? I'm not understanding.
If you read back through the last 3 pages of posts there are links in plenty of members posts and also the opinions of members themselves.Do you have a link for that, please froggy. I haven't seen that article.
Yes I'm up to date, but haven't seen the articles. Never mind. It's not really relevant anyway. And the truth will no doubt come out - eventually. Even if we have to wait for a bio pic or a book.

Having been the lead detective on this case for about 4 years, will GJ take the stand at some stage of the inquest to outline the investigation? How do you think it is determined, what is relevant to be examined and questioned in front of the coroner and what is self explanatory by statements alone?
this post is tagged at me as if I am questioning his worth.Although, as I am sure most are aware, Bowraville was not Jubes case to begin with. There were years of questionable police work done (and work not done) on this case, prior to Jubes taking it over.
I feel that it is difficult to pin any court's decision on Jubes ... when the prior police work by others was seriously lacking, and by the time that Jubes got the case - years later - much evidence would simply be irretrievable.
A sad statement on the lack of adequate positive attention our indigenous people used to receive from the authorities. imo

quite the opposite as my original post stated.
someone else questioned his previous value.
I agree, it's exactly the same, and you agree BS was crucified for years? Or to put it another way, many want innocence until proven guilty to apply to GJ when it was not extended to POI who has not been charged for anything in WT's case and actuually appears to have had other charges brought against him dealt with so he is walking around as a free man, through the media for years. Most posters on here display hypocrisy about players in this case, myself included. It's human. Dare I say that particularly in relation to the example you have given of GJ and BS that it might even be karmic? If a police person has resort to illegal activity to try to secure a conviction then surely the conviction will always be in doubt and may even point to being incompetence in their profession if found guilty?IMOIt's a bit like people defending BS for his historical charges prior to any court hearing. Many were pleading "Innocent until proven Guilty". Some of those same people are now crucifying GJ even though the same should apply - "Innocent until proven Guilty". And I add for much less horrific actions than what BS was charged for.
People will have differences, but it amazes me that if you have a moral reason for stating innocence of some, how those morals and opinions can change because of personal likes or dislikes - or even personal history and agenda's.
All my own opinion.
appreciate that.Sorry, k-mac. I have gone back and prefixed my post so it is understood I wasn't disputing your words.
My apologies.
I will give some people more doubt-benefit because of who they are. When Ristevski was charged, I gave up hope that he was innocent. Jubelin's charged, I'll wait and see. That's speaking at a social level. If I was on a jury, it would be different, and I'd apply the presumption of innocence to everyone.It's a bit like people defending BS for his historical charges prior to any court hearing.

No, I think I'm more in alignment with Frogwell on the hypothetical. Police officers need to work within the law regardless of feelings of frustration. But I hope it won't come to that, or if it does, that the breach was minor and unintentional.I will go even further than this and say that whether not guilty or guilty of said charges, it will be important to see if the said illegal recordings are used by the Coroner to benefit William's case/inquest.
If Jubes is taking the fall, rightly or wrongly, for these recordings, it well may be a risk he was willing to take for the benefit of William and his families.
As someone said earlier, I think it was Warsh, it is not as if an officer can say "Is it okay if I record this convo? Now go ahead and confess or give me some clues as to your potential involvement in William's disappearance and demise".
If there was not enough for a warrant for secret recordings, then the frustration of the police just grows and grows. They cant force a person to speak, they cant force 'someone who knows' to speak. They can only do their best to appeal to them, to appeal to their families, and if that doesn't work .. then what? The person just goes unchecked/free, perhaps abusing other little children and continuing to get away with it?
Jubes has always seemed very victim-focused. This does not always fit within the police rules or the law.
So while we (not you) can say he may have done wrong, crucify him, ignore his prior works, just focus on the negative, many people 'socially' and with 'public strength/strength of the masses' are right behind him - because of that focus on delivering for the victims.
