Summary
Overview
Uncover the truth behind one of the most serious failures in our national criminal justice system. Investigative journalist Hedley Thomas and forensic biologist Dr Kirsty Wright started the podcast series Shandee’s Story in hopes of discovering the truth behind the 2013 murder of Shandee Blackburn. Instead, they unearthed a web of failures in our national criminal justice system, resulting in a public inquiry into the Queensland DNA Forensic Laboratory. At the next Business Lunch, the two of them will discuss the podcast series, the power of investigative journalism, and the scary truth behind the failings of Queensland forensic services.
