What a pity that nobody was in the courtroom when Lindy Chamberlain and her husband were charged with the murder of their baby daughter. I was in that courtroom with the MOB ! The most heartbreaking scenes I'll ever experience where people were shouting,booing,shaking their fists at this couple who were completely innocent of the crime they had been accused of.
They had no witnesses or alibis' but the world didn't believe their word that wild dingo's had taken baby Azaria. I must have been one of only a handful who'd believed that they were telling the truth. The media were out in force,as was the stench of bias which is ALWAYS present when the media are there,which immediately puts paid to any fairness in a trial and affects the outcome greatly.
If I'd been the judge at the trial,I'd have chased everyone out of the courtroom quick fast. Half of them there I'm sure were just sent there to jeer. Thinking back at some of the scenes,it was like going back to ancient times---------cave-men days.
When I was in Oz in 1998,there was yet another dingo attack on a child. I don't ever remember hearing a peep out of anyone !!
