Guilty until proven innocent
Article Abstract:
Media and the police seem to be using the terminology 'prime suspect' to mean a man suspected of involvment in a serial murder case in West Australia is guilty. The suspect, 41, a public servant, has failed a lie detector test according to leaks. The test results are not admissible in court. The man has denied any role in the disappearance of 3 young women in the nightclub area of Perth, 1/96-3/97, and approached media crews outside his workplace to defend himself. Police say they have insufficient evidence to justify charging anyone.
