Ep 394: Capital Punishment with Frank Galbally

<p>In this episode i'm digging into the archives! This was my very first interview back in 1986 when I was just 17 yrs old. My voice hadn't broken (so I sound a little funny) and the recording was performed way before digital existed, on cassette tape. I recently came across the interview and converted it to digital. The quality is not 100%, but I'm interviewing the highest profile criminal lawyer of his time. With an 80 to 90% acquital rate, Frank Galbally, CBE was one of the first solicitors to practice as a trial advocate without joining the Victorian Bar. Incredibly successfl and influential, Frank was involved in the appeal to stop the two Australians, Barlow and Chambers, from being executed in Malaysia.&nbsp;</p> <p>This interview provides and interesting insight into the history of capital punishment and why it doesn't work.</p>
