Kumanjayi White family's lawyer alleges double standard over MP case
The lawyer representing Kumanjayi White's family claims the Northern Territory Director of Public Prosecutions' (NT DPP) decision to hand the case of a Labor MP accused of assault to the Commonwealth prosecutors is a double standard.
The White House has urged the Department of Justice (DoJ) to reconsider charges against former Olympian David Hearn, who was accused of vandalizing the Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool, according to a source familiar with the situation. This comes after the US attorney, Jeanine Pirro, dismissed the case on July 31 due to insufficient evidence.
Pirro's office argued that the damage to the pool had occurred prior to Hearn's visit and was difficult to attribute solely to vandalism. Hearn maintains that he accidentally touched a detached pool lining while on a bike ride in June.
