Never faltering in her claim of innocence, Sue Neill-Fraser was released on parole in October 2022, after 13 dark years in a Hobart prison for murdering her partner Bob Chappell. But her rightful fight to quash her wrongful conviction continues. This book reveals the entire shocking case of Sue Neill-Fraser, whose crime was invented and her conviction protected by the Tasmanian devils of the entire legal establishment, including the police, the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions, the political leadership, the Legal Profession Board and the Integrity Commission. Based on speculation without evidence, her conviction has drawn condemnation from over 36,000 petitioners, lawyers, barristers and much of the media. In Vol. 1, investigative journalist and author Andrew L. Urban traced the first stage of this shocking miscarriage of justice; in Vol. 2 he reveals the full extent of a catastrophic failure of Tasmania' s legal system. Now, after two dismal appeals that followed the trial, there are still plenty of grounds to appeal again - and to have the conviction quashed. There is hope, but it needs the swell of public pressure to disarm the power of Tasmania' s legal ' club' .
Andrew L. Urban, an author, journalist, and documentary filmmaker, fled Hungary as a child during the 1956 revolution, eventually settling in Australia. He has written for many publications and has authored investigative books on wrongful convictions. His first book, Murder by the Prosecution explored several wrongful convictions and was described by Margaret Cunneen SC as ' troubling expose' . He has published the online Wrongful Convictions Report since 2018. Since 1985, before turning his journalistic attention to miscarriages of justice (prompted by the Eve Ash documentary Shadow of Doubt), Andrew was a prolific film journalist and covered the Cannes Film Festival for 20 years for both screen trade publications and mainstream media. He was Channel Host on World Movies for five years. He co-published with his wife Louise, the online movie magazine Urban Cinefile for 20 years. During his lifelong career as a journalist, he has had over 2,000 freelance articles published in a variety of publications in Australia and internationally. Andrew conceived and presented Front Up, a weekly series on SBS TV that ran from 1992-2003/04. Andrew has profound empathy with Ukrainians: in 1956, with his mother and stepfather, he fled from Russian tanks during the Hungarian Revolution. His most recent works include Gladys and Climate Alarm Reality.
