Show Notes
The 2020 Coronial Inquest into the Alva Beach deaths was meant to bring answers, instead it left confusion and outrage in its wake. As the week spiralled into chaos, lawyers stormed out of the Cairns courthouse, the Coroner was asked to stand down over fears of bias and the key witness - Dean Webber - was excused from giving evidence.
Retired Coroner David Heilpern joins the podcast with an independent and expert legal view - and a damning assessment: the inquest failed in its purpose to get to the truth.
