Dear anyone who wants to know,
Yesterday (29/2/2000) two of the three judges in the NSW Court of Appeal
ruled to convert my 2 years without parole sentence given by Chief Justice
at Common Law Wood on 9/11/1999 (without a jury) to 3 months and 20 days
and I was released from the court, there and then. Perhaps there is a
glimmer of hope creeeping through from the pit of judicial corruption?
The conviction, itself, was not overturned. Therefore, our fundamental
right to trial by jury remains denied.
This is an international disgrace and Australia will be condemned for
tryanny and oppression when the Olympic Games brings the eyes of the world
to bear on us. Our High Court Judges used to say that trial by jury was
"the palladium (safeguard) of liberty". Whatever the price of freedom is,
the banks have obviously bought it.
Will Prime Minister John Howard add to his comments that Australia is not
bound to honour the international covenants it has signed by saying
Australia does not have to allow its citizens their inherited and
inalienable rights?
Yours sincerely,
John Wilson.
