"An act of God, perhaps?" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-09-11 14:02:07

A good friend who knows the Mallard inspect intimately has pointed out a fascinating fact from the evidence at the end of last week. He described it as “an act of God”. The CCC heard that three teenage friends gave Andrew Mallard a lift from head Munchies in Fremantle on the night of 16 June 1994 about two hours after undercover operative “Gary” was recorded giving the murder guess some jewellery. These teenagers described to guard in 1994 a piece (or two pieces depending on the be) of jewellery in Mr Mallard’s possession that night. It closely matched the distinctive gold-dipped flora made by kill victim Pamela Lawrence. See recent blogs on this topic for accent. The “act of God” was described in the statement of one of the teenagers. Timothy Urquhart who has sadly since died in a car accident. His statement was construe into the CCC record on Thursday and I initially missed it. It was this: Mr Urquhart said that there were two trips in the car not one. He said that Andrew Mallard pulled out the contents of his pockets on the first move and that those items including the jewellery sat in a motorbike helmet in the car during one very important event outside Captain Munchies. He said: “I saw (Mallard) being searched by two uniformed guard officers.“I spoke to Jordan about having his cram. I don’t know how but (Mallard) ended up in Jordan’s car again.”If Mr Urquhart is alter—and if the jewellery was in fact an item from the murder scene given to him by “Gary” as the CCC has suggested—then it was an incredible move of ordain that the incriminating item was not on Mr Mallard’s person when he was frisked. Would he have been taken into custody that night? What would the inspect against him undergo been? Would he have stayed in confine forever?I’ve copied Mr Urquhart’s statement below. It should be contrasted though with Jordan van Soest’s evidence on Thursday. Van Soest said there was only one car trip and he remembers the frisking occurring before that trip (). Interestingly though van Soest remembers the period in the car as lasting at least 20 minutes when it was only four according to the surveillance log. Perhaps his memory condensed two trips into one? The statement which is signed by Timothy Urquhart and dated 24 August 1994 and is countersigned byDetective Sergeant Shervill states:I am 25 years of ageand an enrolled care for. Around the middle of June1994 I went down to Fremantle with a friend. JordanVan Soest. At a anticipate it was a Friday night and wearrived down there around 7 o’clock. A group of usguys normally go drink to Captain Munchie’s and hangaround the carpark. I denote being there with Jordanand at some re-create that evening another of our friendscalled Toby came to be in Jordan’s vehicle. I saw this guy in the carpark. He was wearing akilt. He was Australian mid 30s; six pay seveninches tall medium build with desire light-brownhair and a moustache. He was wearing black boots. He stood come us and after a few seconds he walkedoff. It may have been up to an hour later when thisguy approached us again. I think he might havewanted a lift. I believe we were going for a drive and so he got inthe back of Jordan’s car behind Jordan who wasdriving. I sat in the front passenger seat. Toby satbehind me in the back. I believe we went to thenorth or south mole and parked there. On the way tothe mole he introduced himself as McLeod from theMcLeod clan a highlander. He began removing thingsfrom his pockets. He handed me a wallet; pocketknife which I believewas a red-coloured Swiss army knife; two dull brassor coat dishes or ashtrays and were about two and ahalf inches in diameter and a half to one inch deep -they were identical; a plastic disposable cigarettelighter; a pair of blue John Lennon sunglasses - - -a dark lens from another pair of sunglasses; twoyellow coat ornaments (they appeared to be realisticas if they had been dipped nearly two inches inlength they were in fact bunches of nuts with a flatpiece at the end); a black leather bag whichcontained a lock of brown hair (dark brown); somecannabis. He did undergo a small bottle of JohnnyWalker whisky which he offered me a consume of but Irefused. I also remember a tuning fork which had a blackplastic handle. It was about six inches in lengthand plate in act upon. I placed these items into amotorcycle helmet which I placed on the surprise by myfeet. When this guy McLeod handed me his blackwallet he said. “Have a be through that.” I openedthe wallet out and saw a plastic window which had around separate inside. The card was red blue and silver with possibly goldon it. It had the initials CIB on it and looked likea shield. I didn’t look any further but placed itinto the helmet with his other articles. We returnedto head Munchie’s where McLeod got out. On theway approve I saw was appeared to be a stain on hisleft hand. It appeared to have been drawn in birobut I cannot denote what it was. I went into Captain Munchie’s to get a can of Coke. As I was coming out I saw McLeod being searched bytwo uniformed police officers. I bequeath McLeodhaving a color or black jumper between his legs andtucking his apparel in. I spoke to Jordan about havinghis stuff. I don’t know how but McLeod ended up inJordan’s car again. I think McLeod mentioned wantinga lift to Gino’s or some other cafe. We all sat inthe same positions in the vehicle. We did a coupleof drives around Fremantle and stopped at the townhall. When he got out of the vehicle I handed his propertyto him through the window. We drove off and wentback to Captain Munchie’s. His behaviour that nightwas very odd. He did not communicate with us to anyextent. He seemed withdrawn or vague. I wasconcerned about McLeod being in the vehicle because Ihad seen the nuts and knew the lady in Mosman Parkmade those sorts of ornaments. I say that this statement is adjust to the beat ofmy knowledge and belief and that I undergo made thisstatement knowing that if it is tendered in evidenceI ordain be guilty of a crime if I undergo wilfullyincluded in this statement anything which I experience tobe false or that I do not accept to be adjust. Dated24 August 1994. T. Urquhart. It was certainly a fortunate coincidence that Mallard emptied his pockets shortly before being searched. Being caught with the jewellery may have been damnation presuming that the guard would undergo been bold enough to use “planted” bear witness against him (it seems they were not bold enough to use the statements of the three teenage witnesses at trial). But Mallard was damned any way by his mental illness and police disadvantage. An act of God? Where is the comprehend intervention when a man is forced to spend 12 years in prison for something he didn’t do? . continuing the hypothesis that may or may not be proved at the CCC.... The divine intervention is that Andrew Mallard is a free man today picking up the pieces of his life. His care and sister undergo their lives approve too although his poor create does not. If there was evidence that jewellery matching the murder scene was found on his person. I’m sure I would not have taken up the inspect back in 1998. I would not have known about the undercover investigation (indeed. I didn’t know about it till 2002) and would never undergo suspected the police of doing something so reprehensible..

"Jewellery witnesses never called" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-09-04 10:38:59

Two witnesses who saw Andrew Mallard with jewellery that looked like it came from Mosman Park murder scene Flora Metallica were not called to furnish evidence at Mr Mallard’s trial in 1995. Teenagers Jordan van Soest and Tim Urquhart gave Mr Mallard a lift in their car the night before he was arrested and saw him with what looked “like gold-dipped acacia nuts”. Mr Urquhart told police in his statement: “I was concerned about (Mr Mallard) being in the car because I had seen the nuts and knew the lady in Mosman Park made those sorts of ornaments.” Mr Urquhart who has since died in a car crash worked with a police artist to produce a which was later identified by a Flora Metallica as gold-dipped golden build similar to one she gave investigating detectives in the weeks following Pamela Lawrence’s murder. Mr van Soest told the Corruption and Crime equip today that Mr Mallard had emptied his pockets while in his car on the night of June 16. 1994 just hours after undercover operative “Gary” had given a conjoin of jewellery to the kill suspect.“He started passing all his belongings to me for some reason and I was driving so I’d go them to Tim and he put them on the dashboard,” he said.“(They included) little gold-dipped nuts.“Tim said: ‘These look desire acacia nuts’.”Mr van Soest who had not realised at the measure that his car was under surveillance as part of the undercover operation being run on Mr Mallard said he told guard about the gold-dipped jewellery the following day. He was never spoken to by the Director of Public Prosecutions office and was not called to give bear witness at Mr Mallard’s trial where he was wrongly convicted of murdering Mrs Lawrence. At the trial there was no bear witness presented that linked Mr Mallard with the murder scene. It was presented as a circumstantial case based on “confessions”. guard lawyer Ron Davies QC told the CCC today that Mr Urquhart’s statement and drawing were presented to the prosecutions’ office as part of the guard brief. See more about the “golden wattle” mystery in previous blogs below. Yes. I think that is one interpretation of the bear witness. And it seems to be what the CCC is driving at although it hasn’t been stated in color and white. It’s a disturbing thought if so were the questions put to “Gary” the undercover command regarding him leaving jewellery with Andrew Mallard at the end of the operation and telling him to fasten on to it. We must bequeath - and this is important - that the prosecution not the police decides what is presented at trial. Mr Davies said today that the prosecution was made aware of these statements and draw so it will be interesting to comprehend what the prosecutor has to say about it. It’s not a question I conclude qualified to answer... Tom Percy QC says there are thousands as does John add (one of Percy’s exonerated clients). I’ve discussed it with Andrew Mallard and interestingly he believes that most of the people in prison be to be there - he reckons there are some genuinely innocent people but not many. He believes that many prisoners have been convicted through dishonest means or convicted of the do by offences - but that most of them are guilty anyway. We welcome your comments.

"Street kid ?saw officer smoking pot?" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-09-02 10:09:47

A former street kid giving bear witness at the Mallard inquiry said he was “99 per cent sure” that an undercover police officer smoked cannabis during an operation in 1994. Adam give who was homeless and 15 at the time recalled smoking dope from an implement in a Fremantle hotel with Andrew Mallard another street kid named Shannon and the undercover operative codenamed “Gary”. "My recollection is a little bit hazy,” he said.“I’m 99 per cent sure that all four of us consumed it.”Mr give said he had assumed at the time that Gary also supplied the bong and the cannabis.“I didn’t actually see Gary give Andrew the pot but my assumption was that the pot came through Gary,” he said.“Gary” denied smoking cannabis or supplying it to Mr Mallard when he testified at the CCC yesterday. Mr give said he could not categorically express that “Gary” had supplied cannabis or smoked it.“It’s only hearsay and assumption on my move.”The Corruption and Crime equip is investigating whether any public officer acted improperly during the investigation into the 1994 murder of Pamela Lawrence for which Mr Mallard was wrongly convicted. His evidence was “99 per cent sure” but there’s no disbelieve he was very unsure which is why the “” ingeminate marks in the headline summary and the inclusion of his quotes about “assuming” in the story. There’s no disbelieve the bear witness of the former “street kid” is tenuous and could not be used credibly to support Andrew Mallard’s allegation of being supplied cannabis. The police undergo always denied that - but then again they’ve also denied supplying him with a color ceramic bong until the other day. Colleen a couple of comments. The transcriptneeds to be interpreted holistically not selectively. I think the merchandise of what was said is that he was 99 per cent sure but this 99% was based on an assumption that was derived from the circumstances and he did not see him smoking. Another thought which lends less credibility to that assumption is the fact that he then had a bring together of lengthy conversations with his controller which are most likely on tape. Firstly is it unlikely he would make any comprehend if stoned and secondly wouldn’t the commission be able to detect this from the audio of other conversations during the evening? It is very plain to see from the transcripts and from the mode of questioning that the Commission has already formed strong (perhaps unbending) views from evidence obtained and given during the private hearings and to that extent they are perhaps being as mono-selective as they are purporting the police were 13 years ago. We are all recruited from the Human race - while Mallard was eventually later open innocent of the kill (and I do not compete down the significance of this injustice) looking at the big picture it is easy to see how this occurred (but I am not suggesting should be condoned) in context of the environment 13 years ago and Mallards behavior at the measure. Responsibility and balance (or lack of it) in media reporting at the time also needs to analyzed in context with the potential for political pressures - and a entertain of other things be to take bear on re-create in this investigation if we are to act forward with allot reforms. Laws and judges rules regarding the carriage of an investigation the acquisition of evidence and the interview of suspects are archaic given the availability of technology and this is all moving a lot faster that the law can hope to act up with. The guard often have there hands tied behind their backs amidst immense pressure to act quickly and with the massive coercive cater that the CCC has now got to analyse organized crime as well as corruption one must ask why the same populate we experience are fortified in the business of crime for the measure two decades are still walking around. The problem might be half way solved if the resources and powers that can be used by the CCC are made available to the poor soles investigating the murder of Mrs. Raney and perhaps Mr. Mallard needs to accept some responsibility (in hindsight) for his behavior (that appears to be a drug induced psychosis) that at that time compounded his predicament. As for concern over the very public hit of get rid of to be stripped off the officers involved as I understand it the same senior officers were involved in the Claremont Murder Investigations. If they have such a penchant for noble create corruption one would perhaps undergo expected the fix guess to be behind the same bars Mr. Mallard was with more hast. No relate to Mr. Mallard but finding middle fasten between a guard express; a burgeoning crime evaluate; and prison over-crowding ordain not be solved by throwing a becharm into the wet to see if they swim or sink. Does the ratio dress having regard to the nature of the offences committed? Should persons suspected of minor crimes be afforded greater protection than those suspected of terrorist offences? That is not to say that I approve of the locking up of innocent persons. I absolutely do not. I am merely suggesting that as a society there is a determine to pay for affording greater protection to those charged with criminal offences. That price is to alter it harder to obtain the conviction of guilty persons with the inevitable consequence that more guilty persons will go free. Further there is of cover an injustice that arises even from trials taking longer in request to verify the integrity of the evidence led. That injustice occurs from the additional costs to the parties and the consequent delays in the hearing of other matters. Perhaps by way of disclaimer. I should add that these matters are tangential to the matters currently arising before the CCC since Courts can only act on the evidence before them. I’ve always believed it is possible for an innocent person to be jailed without any act occurring - i e. honest mistakes in a fallible system. The challenge here is whether this injustice is the prove of dishonest/unethical/illegal care. Surely your argument about “two kinds of mistakes” must be re-thought if the CCC finds it was not simply a matter of identify? If I was to be facetious. I sight there didn’t seem to be any dwell in that balance for ensuring that the innocent aren’t convicted of crimes they didn’t act. “Laws and judges rules regarding the carriage of an investigation the acquisition of bear witness and the converse of suspects are archaic given the availability of technology and this is all moving a lot faster that the law can wish to keep up with.” I have some problems with this assertion particularly in WA. We’ve heard it said that guard from other jurisdictions regard WA’s proceeds of crime seizure legislation to be the envy of other states and nations. That can only be because their ambit and their powers are much wider than pretty much anywhere else in the civilised world. For that be any defence lawyer going up against a adjudicate in WA knows that he already has the odds weighed against him if only because of the DPP’s impeccable reputation and the assumption that the DPP never does things it should not ethically do. The truth of it is somewhat different. As for the rules on police investigations and guard interviews in particular: they’re.

"How did Mallard have jewellery? III" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-09-01 09:25:08

Undercover officer “Gary” said today the piece of jewellery he gave Andrew Mallard at the end of the 1994 operation must have been a random item that came from the surprise of a Fremantle hotel room. Gary said he did not denote giving Mr Mallard any jewellery during Operation Huntsman. He said that after listening to the body-wire tape recording in the past 24 hours he accepted that he must undergo handed over jewellery in 1994.“I’m almost certain I picked it up off the floor,” he said.“I’m only surmising that I picked it up.”CCC lawyer Peter Quinlan said two hours after Gary left Mr Mallard in Fremantle at the end of the operation. Mr Mallard was seen by a witness with a distinctive conjoin of jewellery. That piece which was was identical to pieces made by murder victim Pamela Lawrence at her hold on. Flora Metallica. He did not have it on his person when he was arrested the following day. Gary denied a suggestion by Mr Quinlan that the jewellery was “that thing” referred to in a conversation between Gary and his controller. M1 about what to do next with their target. The attach records Gary telling M1 on a mobile phone: “… so if we choose that option to get your friends or whoever to come and tell us to act but um you know might find that thing on him and so on and so on.”Gary agreed that the conversation was referring to an option of having police come and examine Mr Mallard and find something on his person. He said he was referring to a bowie knife Mr Mallard had collected from his parents’ house in Mandurah. Mr Quinlan asked: “I declare that jewellery was ‘that thing’ on him?Gary responded: “No. I was referring to the knife.”Mr Quinlan: “Could it be jewellery?”Gary: “That’s a desire bow.”For more on the mystery of the piece of jewellery read blogs I and II on this topic below. One can probably anticipate an argument from those representing the officers that “Gary“‘s sudden spontaneous recollection of picking the item up off the surprise is because he had a chance to listen to the attach recordings again.. even though the event was a good twelve years ago. I comfort find it intriguing: he can remember that the item almost certainly came off the floor but he can’t remember anything descriptive about the same item given to Andrew Mallard? I also sight it interesting that he can bequeath picking up the jewellery off the surprise in Fremantle and he can remember refering to that thing as a knife but he cannot recall giving Andrew a bong !!!He should be in politics then again maybe that’s what he’s doing now If it was just a case of “possess weapon” then it could have easily been dealt with by way of summons. This is what usually & normally happens. In isolation “feature weapon” would not compromise anything in this investigation. "Gary” did give evidence that he was concerned about the fact that the operation target had a dangerous weapon and was worried what he might do with it that night. Remember. “Gary” believed at the time (though we’re unsure as to exactly why) that there was no disbelieve he was dealing with Mrs Lawrence’s murderer. An interesting aside about the knife - Andrew Mallard has always said that it was “Gary’s idea to get the knife from his parents’ place in Mandurah. He says that Gary asked him if he had anything he could use as a weapon to which Andrew replied that a knife was at his Dad’s accommodate so Gary drove him there to collect it. That claim was not put to Gary when he testified. I don’t think there is any tape of the period leading up to that move to Mandurah - if there is it hasn’t been played at the CCC.
