The very vitriolic public spat between Queensland's Chief Justice Tim Carmody and Justice Margaret McMurdo, the head of the state's Court of Appeal, is really quite ugly and disgusting.
Okay, Tim Carmody probably shouldn't have been made the Chief Justice in the first place, yes he was a 'political appointment',someone who Campbell Newman and former Attorney-General Jarrod Bleijie handpicked for the job. No regard whatsoever for the separation of powers.
But what an offensive insult it is to the memory of Daniel Morcombe, and his family who still greaves for him, to have some sack like McMurdo effectively promoting a court appeal which would see the evil and sadistic killer of Daniel Morcombe released from prison in the very near future.
At least Chief Justice Carmody is proving he's human and has a heart. Only the lowest form of humanity could want to see Brett Peter Cowan released from prison on appeal.
No matter what you think of Carmody's 'after hours' meeting with Braveheart's Hetty Johnson last year, and if you think it was appropriate or not, fact is that undercover police from QLD and interstate done a magnificent job of establishing who the killer of Daniel Morcombe was and putting that very evil person behind bars where he belongs.
The mind boggles as to what vulgar motivation would drive any lawyer to want to help this slime bucket get out of jail early on some ambiguous technicality.
Sure, a number of police involved in the investigation of Daniel Morcombe's murder applied some very innovative and unorthodox methods to get a confession out of Cowan, but that's the nature of the beast with undercover police work.
Cowan's ruthless and callous lawyers might want to remind themselves that it was him who led the police to within 100 metres of where Daniel Morcombe's remains were found, 'after' he made a very detailed and vivid confession, which is the same one which his lawyers are using to try and invent a way for him to snake his way out of prison early. How do they sleep at night?
