A little murder mystery slant to this thread, cluedo even?.
Corrryn was a lawyer prominent in the Western Australian legal community. She went missing after attending a bootscooting class, her body found dumped in Kings Park, which is mostly bushland.
Her husband Lloyd, also a Lawyer, with some pretty big clients like Gina Reinheart and her claim against her fathers estate... I digress...

I was in law school at the time the trial was on and we were all told explicitly that we cant discuss the case by the law academics. not just because the case was being heard but it being "too close for comfort" to or tutors and lecturers in the law community.
Corryns husband Lloyd was the only named suspect and three years after her death he was charged with her murder.
However he was found not guilty after a lengthy judge only trial (no jury).
The judgement almost 400 pages...

Prosecution appealed the decision but it was upheld.
So what do you think?. One of the reasons he got the judge only trial was because "media attention" might influence the jury--well you good folk are not "poisoned" by media influence.
