The lowdown
Join Julian Wagner Memorial Fund Inc and Australians Against Capital Punishment for a thought-provoking and interesting talk from one of Australia's most experienced and well-known lawyers. Lex Lasry AM KC is a highly experienced barrister, judge and podcaster with a long career in criminal law. Lex represented Van Nguyen charged with drug trafficking in Singapore, Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran (until 2007), two of the ‘Bali 9’, the Law Council of Australia as the independent observer at the trial of David Hicks at Guantanamo Bay Cuba, ‘Jihad’ Jack Thomas in his terrorism trial, and former police officer Peter Halloran in Sierra Leone, Many of these cases involved the threat (or actual imposition) of the death penalty. Before and after Lex's talk you are invited to join us and other attendees for drinks and finger food at the College of Law's lovely premises at Wesley House. All profit will be used by JWMF to assist Australian Lawyers to travel and work overseas on capital punishment cases.
