Consider some of Prosecutor Tim Ellis' final parting words to the jury: CT: STATE v NEILL-FRASER p.1414 MR ELLIS CLOSING "Someone who sought with a pair of latex gloves which she had forgotten that she’d left on the stove top to clear up as best she could and perhaps abandon that idea." He wrongly accused Sue of using latex gloves to clean up after the crime but the DNA in the glove was NOT SUE'S - it was Bob Chappell's son's DNA on the inside of the glove. CT STATE v NEILL-FRASER p.1392 MR ELLIS CLOSING "She’s walking backwards and forwards and delivers blow – a blow or blows, or maybe stabs him with a screwdriver, I don’t know, he doesn’t look round, and so the body doesn’t have any marks of what you’d expect if someone had come down there, a stranger, intent on doing him harm, the body I suggest would have marks consistent only with being delivered by someone who he knew to be there, who he knew and expected to be behind him." But there was NO BODY. NO MARKS. What is wrong with our Australian Justice system that this is allowed? How can our court system allow fanciful storytelling without substance? And why link Sue Neill-Fraser to Dennis O'Day in his closing address to the jury? O'Day disappeared (35yrs ago) but Sue had NOTHING TO TO WITH THAT! Recently a Cornoer concluded O'Day jumped off the Tasman Bridge. The DNA of the young homeless girl found on the yacht was brushed aside as a secondary transfer. Victoria Police Forensic Scientists have now concluded that the large volume DNA sample was most likely a primary transfer ie she was there. This DNA profile was matched to the girl MONTHS after Sue was arrested. It was at that point Sue should have been released and a thorough investigation conducted into Bob Chappell's disappearance. Sue did not have a fair trial. There were and remain other viable scenarios for what happened to Bob. There was no conclusive evidence that Sue killed Bob. Witnesses were mistaken. Flawed evidence was not clarified for the jury. Sue's been in jail 6+ years. Her life is ruined. Her mother has recently died, she is now in a wheelchair and she has had 3 more grandchildren - 4 in all she is missing out on. She has 17 more years in jail. This is a wrongful conviction. Only the Tasmanian government can fix this. And it should never happen again. Seek a Commission of Inquiry.
