We told you yesterday that a Woodend Beach trainer had been arrested for rape. What we didn’t tell you was this his mate from Wyndham was about to be too. There was a reason for that. The police had taken a statement from the mate, in which he lied through his teeth and pointed all […]
So what have we learned in the first four days of the Teachers Pet trial? Not a whole lot really. JC- the pet herself – hates her ex-husband Chris Dawson like poison. Her evidence so far hasn’t really told us anymore than her memories are somewhat swiss cheese like, with holes in them that she […]

The building was just supposed to burn down. But a few fuck-ups fucked up, and the flames flew up, and the doors were locked, and there […]
