Produktbeschreibung

The Office of ACT Chief Magistrate and Chief Coroner Lorraine Walker wrote to the author on 27 August 2021 saying "Her Honour refuses your request" for a new coronial inquest into the death of a cyclist near Canberra on the morning of 31 March 2017.

But justice was not served by her refusal, and so Her Honour Refuses Your Request: The Death of a Cyclist and What I Don't Understand:

• names five Australian Federal Police officers and one NSW Police officer who made statements to the court that were at odds with the facts, as well as two of those officers who then gave testimony in court that misled the coroner at the inquest;
• shows how a Monash University expert witness, with three Monash degrees including a PhD, presented flawed evidence that also misled the coroner;
• critiques the quality of the work performed by counsel assisting the coroner as he failed to sufficiently test the evidence he presented at the inquest;
• concludes the coroner erred in her findings; and
• questions why new evidence the driver committed an indictable offence was rejected by the Office of ACT Chief Coroner Walker.

In this work the author also raises never-before-published questions about the veracity of some of the evidence presented by the Australian Federal Police at the inquest.

Many people were approached by the author while researching this book. Some agreed to be interviewed, including three of the first to arrive at the scene, a few of the witnesses who drove past the cyclist that morning, the driver who fatally struck the cyclist, the driver's girlfriend, and a Victoria Police sergeant and media officer. Some were open and honest, some chose to tell half-truths, while others refused to engage. And that is now a matter for them..
