Episode 7: The author vs everyone
Peter Ellis, the Creche Case & Me
12/29/22 • 22 min
An incendiary new book on the Christchurch Civic Creche case incriminates an establishment that refuses to look at the big picture – not just the police and the investigators, but the judiciary and parliament as well. It reveals flawed processes, interviewing techniques and investigators at the heart of a totally unsound investigation, but it doesn’t change a thing for Ellis.
