[The AFL Player Spectator] New comment on Botched Rape Investigation - AFL Player Walks.

Greg has left a new comment on your post "Botched Rape Investigation - AFL Player Walks":

Sure, Julia, from all accounts Tracey Grimshaw did a great job and didn't pull any punches.

I guess any prospective subjects for 60 Minutes would have to weight that against knowing that Channel Nine sat on the Matty Johns story for years and it was only when Four Corners looked into it that your employer responded.

It's worth noting that, according to Crikey, this same network ran with an "irrelevant 'scoop' from Danny Weidler that the father of the woman allegedly assaulted by Manly's Brett Stewart had been convicted of fraud."I mean, really: is this the kind of thing that encourages people to come forwards with their story? Poking around the credit history of the victim's family? I know I'd have a long hard think and would be inclined to look to our excellent public broadcasters.
