In FRAMED, Andrew L. Urban unravels the Crown’s circular argument that Robert Xie must be guilty because the murders ‘must have been’ committed at a time the Crown claims, without evidence. In fact, he had an alibi: he was in his bed asleep by his wife, as she confirmed. The prosecution, determined to negate the alibi, asserted without evidence that he drugged his wife.
As he stood to hear the jury’s verdict, he proclaimed his innocence to the court in his Chinese accented English. “I did not murder the Lin family. I am innocent.”
This book sets out to prove he was telling the truth. He was framed by the state.
“…there was no psychopharmacological evidence that she was drugged,” – Professor Ian R. Coyle, Fellow of the College of Forensic Psychology of the Australian Psychological Society
“I am overwhelmed by the conclusion that Robert Xie’s convictions are unsafe and unsatisfactory and my doubt is more than reasonable; it is substantial.” – Stuart Tipple, former lawyer for Lindy Chamberlain
“Clearly the onus of proof has been reversed in this case and speculation has been presented as if it were ‘evidence’ … Nothing short of a Royal Commission will get this badly damaged ship back on course.” – Dr Bob Moles, Flinders University legal academic
