In late 1949 at the end of the school year, Jack Billing's mother accompanied him aged 15 to the Bunbury Police Station. At that young age he was fascinated by the science of fingerprint identification.He wanted to join the Police Force.What followed was a successful career, first in general Police duties, then in the Police Scientific Branch as a photographer, fingerprint technician, questioned document examiner - and along the way a Police diver and member of the Police Bomb Squad.In his 43 year career he built a reputation with colleagues and in the courts for being guided scrupulously by the objective evidence that a scientific approach to criminal investigations revealed - to the frustration of defendants, and at times investigators.He rose to the leadership position of Assistant Commissioner in the Western Australian Police Force, and in the 1989 Australian Honours he was awarded an Australian Police Medal in recognition for his service to policing in the state.This book is his testimony about the often misrepresented but compelling forensic evidence in one of Western Australia's most controversial criminal cases, the 1982 Perth Mint Swindle.

Utilizing court transcripts and interviews, this is the gripping account of a courtroom drama that titillated the public during an era of crooked cops and corporate fraud. When the Perth Mint was swindled out of more than a half-million dollars worth of gold, the local police thought they had the culprits: the Mickelberg brothers—Ray, Peter, and Brian. Already accused of defrauding Australian millionaire Alan Bond by manufacturing a phony gold nugget, the Mickelbergs were tried and convicted despite the fact that the gold was never found. A cutting-edge analysis of the legal process and the trials and tribulations of seeking justice in a corrupt system, this chronicle depicts the nearly 30 years the Mickelbergs fought to prove their innocence and the mysterious death of Brian and the violent and untimely ends of two corrupt officers.

An incisive examination by the bestselling author of The Mammoth Book of Gangs of some of the many miscarriages of justice of this and the previous century, which have seen innocent men and women found guilty, and sometimes executed. This shocking 'manual of injustice' exposes wrongful convictions and acquittals as a result of the chicanery of some forensic scientists, over-zealous or negligent police officers under pressure to get results, incompetent lawyers, lying witnesses, bribed juries, judicial blunders and feeble politicians. Sometimes, however, it is truculent and uncooperative defendants who prove their own worst enemies. It shows the mistakes that can be made in the face of a baying public and a rabid press, mistakes which have seen innocent men and women found guilty, and sometimes executed, while others have served lengthy sentences. It reveals critical flaws in criminal justice systems throughout the world (it is estimated, for example, that two per cent of felony cases in America result in wrongful convictions). Morton explores folk devils and moral panics, both historical such as the 'witches' of Salem and and much more recent cases like that of the West Memphis Three. It considers cases of race hatred, the impact of DNA, fit-ups, fake 'experts', doubtful science and the long road to the court of appeal. He also looks at what happens to the victims of miscarriages of justice, whether they go on to prosper or, as is sadly so often the case, never really recover. How did the boxer Rubin 'The Hurricane' Carter come to be wrongly convicted of a triple homicide? The alibi of Joe Hill, the Industrial Workers of the World activist wrongly executed for the murder of a Utah grocer and his son, came too late to save him from execution. On the other hand, Lindy Chamberlain (famously portrayed by Meryl Streep in A Cry in the Dark), has finally, over thirty years after the fact, had her claim that her baby Azaria was taken by a dingo at Ayers Rock in the Australian Outback upheld by a coroner. Among many other cases, Morton also considers the 1910 case of two men convicted of the murder of a man still alive in 1926, and case of the West Memphis Three, who were convicted as teenagers in 1994 of the murders of three boys in Arkansas and released in 2011 in a plea bargain after eighteen years, though the prosecution still refuses to accept their innocence.

BORN TO RIDE, THE ONES INSIDE Some 'one percenters' have committed criminal acts, 100% crimes. Hells Angel Chris Hudson, stewing in steroid, booze and ice juices, was, in his girlfriend-victim's words, 'completely out of his mind, insane, just completely gone' when his handgun came out, after his fist and boot went in. A lot of crimes were committed on Father's Day 1984, one of the saddest days for outlaws, when Bandido met Comanchero in the car park of the Viking Tavern. What did happen when the Bandidos prez KK - Chaos was another name - was gunned down by two Rebels in the basement of the Blackmarket Café, under the Hellfire S&M club? A sniper in the desert near Kalgoorlie and a Gypsy Joker bomb team in Perth are not two stories, they're one bloody unfinished revenge story. Melbourne Hells Angels Roger, Peter, Ray and Terence - the Greenslopes Angels - took the amphetamine group of drugs from petty contraband into the black mass market. And changed Australia.
