The story of Dr Colin Manock, the former Chief Forensic Pathologist for South Australia is one of long term failure of the SA legal system.
This was a man who was unqualified to give evidence in courtrooms and yet he did so, time and time again, with some 400 criminal cases that many say should be re-opened.
It is the largest volume of potential wrongful convictions in a single jurisdiction – due to one pathologist – in history.
Dr Robert Moles is a man who has been trying to correct the injustices created by the failings of Dr Manock and the SA legal system for decades. I first met Dr Moles when I was introduced to him by Henry Keough. What I was not prepared for was what Dr Moles was about to tell me over the course of a 3 hour discussion.
