Unfortunately I suppose it is what generates the most ad dollars. <br /><br />I think I'll wander off and make another martini and curse the press under my breath!martini recipeshttp://www.martinirecipe.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-463929305486893586.post-60405217117838373012008-03-20T17:15:00.000+13:002008-03-20T17:15:00.000+13:00Thanks Brian, I was using the term loosely, but you're absolutely correct.<BR/>Lindy spent several years in gaol for a crime that she didn't commit.<BR/>It was a miscarriage of justice based on popular fear and media hysteria.

By the time she was released from prison, the appeals process had long since been exhausted, and there was no identifiable hope of her being released from Berrimah Gaol. <BR/><BR/>The discovery of the baby's matinée jacket in February 1986 resulted in extraordinary measures being made by the Nothern Territory's chief minister, securing her release, and subsequent exoneration on September 15th, 1988.briantwhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06929799166733961092noreply@blogger.com
