LINK Conviction in Gay-Bashing Murder of Scott Johnson Overturned

An appeals court in Australia Friday set aside the conviction of the man who had pleaded guilty to the 1988 gay-bashing murder of an American citizen.

Scott Phillip White, now 52, had declared himself “Guilty! Guilty! Guilty!” of the murder of postgraduate mathematician Scott Johnson, then 27, at a pretrial hearing this year. White was quickly convicted but soon appealed his decision and applied to withdraw his guilty plea, saying the unexpected courtroom declaration of guilt was made under duress. A New South Wales Court of Criminal Appeal Friday overturned the conviction and ordered a new trial for White, according to a report in the Star Observer.  ...

Australia's motto should be: Just as fucked up as our siblings in America.

Every country has its "fuck ups". I think it was a really stupid move, but I am not about to condemn the entire country for the actions of a very few.

@snytiger6 I was trying to be funny. Humans everywhere fuck up most things. I don't really care about lands outside America, because they don't affect me and I have no voice in them, and would prefer foreign folks not comment on America. Since they don't vote here their opinions mean zip. One thinks they are engaging a conversation which might gain a vote and then you find out that they don't vote here. Waste of time, just like humans are.
