Paltry Payout for Gross Injustice

A deaf mute man (soft target) WRONGLY convicted of a murder by an incompetent and grossly biased West Australian legal system has been awarded less than half a million dollars for his fifteen (15) year wrongful imprisonment.

Darryl Beamish, victim of the State, was initially sentenced to DEATH; how very fortunate for all concerned that the sentence was commuted to LIFE imprisonment, which allowed time to reveal the TRUTH of the crime.

The token ex-gratia payment of less than half a million dollars offered to a socially handicapped man, hardly compensates for the psychological torture, grief and extreme hardship this man suffered at the hands of the State! The amount offered by the State merely adds insult to injury.

We are reminded of other GROSS legal injustices at the Hague, a court that also chases soft targets and completely ignores the civilian killing HOLOCAUST CRIMES of powerful Western States. There is nothing more grievous to democratic societies than miscarriages of justice and corrupt, partial legal institutions.

If we multiply the injustice Mr Beamish suffered a few million times, we approach the horrific injustices perpetrated by the UNITED STATES OF CRIMINAL AMERICA and the corrupt social institutions it lords over, specifically the UN and the Hague criminal courts.

The USA has reigned war and TERROR on many weaker nations (soft targets) over the past decade and killed millions of INNOCENT civilians in the process. The illegal wars the USA conducted were all based on LIES and deception – a FACT which is widely known today, YET the gross crimes committed continue to scream for JUSTICE. To add insult to injury, the USA continues to murder countless civilians today under the very noses of international legal institutions.

A healthy society cannot function while criminals remain in high office and brazenly corrupt State institutions that would otherwise hold criminals to account.

Wherever, whenever injustices occur society must have the means to impartially apply the LAW and serve the best interests of the community at large. Time tested conventions, statutes and laws MUST be applied impartially to ALL.

I would add that socially handicapped Mr Beamish continued to be held in prison after the real murderer – a known serial killer -- confessed to the crime, outrageous! However, some readers would be aware that Western Australian is one of two remaining fascist States left in the Australian Commonwealth, the other, of course, is Queensland. The heinous crimes committed by their respective police forces tell a very vivid story, especially the crimes committed against socially underprivileged INDIGENOUS men and women.

There is NO justice while Bush, Blair, Cheney, Howard, Rumsfeld, Rice, Obama, Rudd, Gillard and the rest avoid the consequences of their OBVIOUS CIVILIAN KILLING CRIMES – the damning evidence is available today in the public domain.

It is imperative that WE restore our critical State Institutions by RESTORING REPRESENTATIVE DEMOCRACY. Replace the Corporatist puppets that currently occupy our seats of government with duly elected INDEPENDENT community representatives in every election, at every level of government.

We ARE able to RECLAIM OUR SOCIETIES by exercising our inalienable rights and SOVEREIGN PREROGATIVES. Vote INDEPENDENT at all times and see to it that unrepresentative major party politicians are cast into the political wilderness where they CLEARLY BELONG.

Compo for man wrongly jailed for 15 years

A Western Australian man has been awarded a $425,000 ex-gratia payment after he spent 15 years in jail for a murder he did not commit.

Darryl Beamish, who is deaf and cannot speak, was convicted of murdering socialite heiress Jillian Brewer in her Cottesloe unit in 1959.

She was attacked with a tomahawk and a pair of scissors.

Mr Beamish was convicted of wilful murder and sentenced to death, which was commuted to life imprisonment because of his disability.

Despite a later confession to the murder by Perth serial killer Eric Edgar Cook, Mr Beamish's conviction was upheld.

In 2005, after a lengthy campaign to clear his name, the Court of Appeal quashed his conviction on the basis that a "substantial miscarriage of justice" had occurred.

In a statement, the WA Attorney General Christian Porter said ex-gratia payments are not intended to fully compensate individuals for loss or detriment suffered.

"In this instance, the Government is satisfied that sufficiently extraordinary circumstances exist to justify an ex-gratia payment," he said.

"This payment is intended to express the State's sincerest regret for what occurred and provide him with a measure of comfort and financial security in his retirement."

The compensation payment follows other high-profile, wrongful imprisonment payments to West Australians Andrew Mallard and John Button.
