Interview with Lynley Dodd, author of A City Possessed...

Recorded, at 11.15 am on Radio Live today. First of all I should note that there is little held opinion abroad that Peter Ellis, of the infamous Christchurch Creche case, is anything other than innocent. Lynley Dodd, rather than take a neutral position in her book, expressed throughout that Peter Ellis was innocent displaying why. She still however presented all the 'evidence' including background information that shows how shaky the conviction was and indeed that charges should never have been laid.

After a introduction by way of interview, Lynley took calls from listeners, but for one, they all had information supporting Lynley's point of view. The one that didn't cited 2 pieces of 'evidence' against Peter Ellis that simply didn't exist, once Lynley had explained that, the caller was prevented from making his third (no doubt false) allegation. It was probably prudent to cut the caller off but by doing so was missed the opportunity of asking direct questions as to who his sources were, who he was and his relationship to his 'sources' - indeed why he was making false allegations so many years after the original event when, as has been described, that Peter has had a 'people's Pardon.'

Of course the 'people's Pardon' is not enough for Peter and he pushes ahead for not only a Royal Pardon but accountability for those that stole years of his life from him. Consider for a moment that Radio Live took the prudent course and cut off the message of hate by the caller making false allegations and compare that to Trade Me, hosting members of hate-sites that continue to publish false statements against David Bain and Joe Karam almost 2 years after the trial where David was acquitted. It was only recently that Trade Me began a 'unsuccessful' position of banning Stockdale and others from bringing unsubstantiated 'claims' from the hate-sites and posting them on TM as though they were facts.

That's why I'm joking around, just fooling, foxing with the suggestion that I'm going to take Stockdale, Kennard, Fox and Trade Me to Court. But don't take me seriously folks because it is probably important for the world to hear the drivelling bs coming from the mouths of these 'men' and have it published on line. And when they're not in Court because I'm bluffing, I hope they'll think about the Peter Ellis case and consider how Peter was framed in the same way as David was, and how even years later a few wackos continue to invent and peddle hate and lies in public - dirty, fiddling, witch, bros.
