More than a day has been set aside in the case of the man accused of murdering British backpacker Peter Falconio to hear evidence from a Northern Territory forensic scientist. Yesterday the Darwin Magistrates Court heard from mechanics and friends of the defendant Bradley John Murdoch.
They described changes the defendant made to his three four-wheel-drive vehicles. Another witness said the defendant also changed his appearance the month Mr Falconio went missing.
But the problem with all that is well we all have reasons for living and loving so I guess if he had a shit it means he's human and having a shave and making changes to ones four wheel drive, even if it were true, wouldn't be uncommon would it? Not at all!
What they need to focus on we guess is how the police went about obtaining the alleged evidence? Did they verbal witnesses? Perhaps not because police are so honest?
The first stage of the committal hearing began in May and ran for three weeks. Twenty-eight witnesses were heard including the key witness Joanne Lees, who attracted the most attention. The first witness was Peter Falconio's brother Paul who sat through all of the proceedings. Other witnesses included a former girlfriend of the defendant and a business associate.
Mr Murdoch has been charged with murder, [alleged], deprivation of liberty and unlawful assault but we think the case hinges on the tourist industry and what that means for the economy.
Some 70 billion $$$$$$$$$$ dollars a year I think to the Australian economy and mostly "corporations" including CH/9 and in this case any evidence and any witness will do along side the 'power' media.
Australia to see the light on tourism
And the Australian ruling class will lock up and frame-up, for 'life', anyone for a crime against any 'backpacker or holiday maker from overseas' no matter whether they were 'guilty or not' and no matter whether they 'found any dead bodies' or whether they found any 'weapon that killed a tourist' and even if there is only 'flawed circumstantial evidence' and 'trial by media' to prove their case. The inbound and domestic tourism industry contributes $70 billion to the economy and employs 500,000.
The question I suppose is WHO'S WHO?
THE DOG: Sounds like the Chamberlain case all over again if you ask us with a government desperate to clear its name at any cost, including any Frame up, or any person who could have possibly been 'profiled to fit the crime'. Wouldn't matter if it was 'you', 'Murdoch' or your 'Mother' would it? And it wouldn't be the first time!

Tourist dollar drives set-up for crime
The man alleged to have murdered English tourist Peter Falconio has been acquitted of rape and abduction charges in the South Australian District Court. Bradley John Murdoch, 45, was charged with two counts of rape, two counts of false imprisonment and two counts of indecent assault after an alleged incident in South Australia's Riverland in August last year.
Innocent until proven guilty? Not in Australia's outback!
There is no way that Bradley John Murdoch can get a fair trial in the Northern Territory. The entire jury pool is already contaminated, the general public have accepted the verdict of the Northern Territory News and the NT Police State has turned on the cone of silence. Maybe some of the reporters might want to ask Director of Public Prosecutions Rex Wilde QC just how he is going to secure a conviction when a body has not been found. Surely the NT bureaucracy learnt from the Lindy Chamberlain case that it is not a good idea to jail someone for murder when you haven't got a body. Maybe they have the same people working on the case. The NT Police forensic team certainly do.
Taken "A Dingo Took My Baby!"
They were the words that Lindy Chamberlain had screamed out into the blackness of the cold night in a camping ground close to Ayers Rock, Central Australia, on the night of August 17, when she discovered that her nearly ten-week-old baby, Azaria had been taken by a dingo.
Man Says He Shot Dingo That Snatched Baby SYDNEY, Australia (July 5) - A distraught mother's scream 24 years ago that a dingo snatched her baby from a camp site near Ayers Rock in the Australian Outback ignited one of Australia's most enduring mysteries. An elderly man's claim that he retrieved the infant's bloodied body from the jaws of the wild dog has revived the case and - if true - could finally lead to the discovery of Azaria Chamberlain's body.
