Subject: Official Information request - Memory and Peter Ellis

 

Dear Crown Law Office,

 

I ask for the following information to assist me in my research of the
Peter Ellis case.

 

According to records held by Crown Law, including information held in the
minds of officials, did the Solicitor General, Una Jagose, inform the
Supreme Court on 14 November 2019 that memory research “wasn’t science”?
Did she subsequently qualify her statement – following expressions of
surprise from the bench – to say that memory research didn’t provide the
same certainty as DNA? Please provide me with a copy of her comments.

 

In 2018, at about how many trials involving alleged sexual offending
against children was DNA evidence presented to the court?

 

Please supply me with the details (including titles and authors’ names) of
research papers regarding child suggestibility or memory that are held by
Crown Law. Please supply details of research papers regarding child
suggestibility or memory which have been accessed by Crown Law since Peter
Ellis’ legal counsel indicated his intention to appeal earlier this year.

 

Yours faithfully,

 

Ross Francis
