THe LegIons oF THe Caesars
The Roman legions were the greatest killing machine of their era, conquering and garrisoning an area of some 1,700,000 sq miles. They offered paradoxically an increased life expectancy for their recruits who hailed from the peasantry in the Italian hinterland and the destitute in the Roman slums. Now they lived in clean quarters and had 3 proper meals per day. This course also examines how in learning from the peoples they conquered they transformed Rome from being just a small town built on 7 hills to one where reputedly all roads led.

WrongFuL ConvICTIon mysTerIes - ParT 1
Derek Bromley, South Australia -still imprisoned after 38 years! “The case of Derek Bromley will prove to be one of the most controversial in Australia’s legal history. An aboriginal man who was convicted of murder in 1984 on the basis of evidence which was manifestly false and misleading. We have been attempting for the last 20 years to have this case reviewed. A new opportunity to do that arose when we were able to establish a new right of appeal in SA in 2013. The appeal court refused him leave to appeal on the grounds which we can confidently state were misconceived and contrary to established legal principles”.

She is then said to have taken the boat into deeper waters and then bundled him and the heavy extinguisher over the side to get rid of him. There was no evidence to support any of this and the prosecution case was startling in its absurdity.” Bob Moles will discuss this case which has now been prepared to go to the High Court.

The tragedy of Kathleen Folbigg NSW. Ms Folbigg was wrongly convicted of the murder of her four babies.

The prosecutor said it was just as likely that ‘pigs might fly’ as the babies having died from any other cause. She has been reviled as one of Australia’s worst serial killers. But has it all been a tragic mistake? Ms Folbigg now has over 100 of the world’s leading experts who say they have identified the genetic defect that caused the babies deaths including Nobel Laureates and Australia’s leading scientists. Despite the overwhelming findings, Ms Folbigg still remains in prison after 18 years of solitary confinement. How can we (the legal system) be so cruel?
