"I LOVE this car," said Michael Chamberlain, as the National Museum in Canberra yesterday took possession of the canary yellow Holden Torana hatchback in which his daughter Azaria was alleged to have been murdered at Ayers Rock in 1980.

The museum took the car, sold by Dr Chamberlain for an undisclosed sum, in
discount ray bans a ceremony watched by family, lawyers, academics, journalists and others who had fought to overturn the convictions of Michael and Lindy Chamberlain for Azaria’s death.

Looking at the car, still with the number plates 4ENSIC that he had chosen with deliberate irony, Dr Chamberlain, from Cooranbong, said
discount ray bans he knew the museum would take even better care of it than he did.

The issue of how Azaria died was settled two years ago by coroner Elizabeth Morris’s finding that a dingo had, in fact, snatched her from the family tent at Ayers Rock on August 17, 1980.

The Torana, which was stripped to its shell in the inquiries that followed Azaria’s disappearance, had been sought by the museum to add to its array of artefacts, clothing, letters, photographs and film about the story.

Dr Chamberlain, watched by his daughter Zahra, son Aidan, daughter in law Amber, and first grandchild, Amelia, nine months, said: "The case represents a gross injustice but also freedom of forensic science, which eventually saw Lindy and I exonerated in 1988.

"It was one of the worst perversions of justice and forensic science in Australian history. .

"We had lived by the credo that if you have done nothing wrong, you have nothing to fear. It was dead wrong."

The first coroner, Denis Barritt, found in February 1981 that a dingo was responsible, but later that year, a British pathologist, Professor James Cameron, advanced the view that there had been a murder. During a new investigation, the Torana was seized and Sydney forensic biologist Joy Kuhl claimed there was baby’s blood in the car and on possessions.

Royal commissioner Justice Trevor Morling found in 1987 that a reasonably instructed jury in possession of further evidence would have been compelled to acquit. The royal commission revealed there was no blood in the car, or on the Chamberlains’ possessions.

Stuart Tipple, the lawyer who had doggedly represented the Chamberlains for years, said: "Our system of justice failed, but people power revealed the truth."Articles Connexes：
