I met with David Szach a number of times to record his version of events and his efforts to clear his name for the murder of lawyer Derrance Stevenson. After examining the trial transcripts, the grounds for appeal, and the reports by forensic scientists investigating the evidence presented by the forensic pathologist, I unravel the crime to reveal its hidden nature and consequences.

David Szach, convicted for the murder of 44-year-old lawyer Derrance Stevenson in 1979, was given a life sentence. The Parole Board of South Australia could have offered an early release if Szach had been prepared to come to terms with his wrongdoing. Maintaining his innocence, Szach refused any suggestion that he could be released with the setting of a non-parole period. Throughout his fourteen years in prison from 1979 to 1993, Szach had not anticipated being released on parole. He sought and expected a judicial inquiry into the circumstances of his arrest and conviction. To his way of thinking, his release depended on the outcome of that inquiry. Szach’s persistence for an inquiry, and his denial of guilt along with an absence of remorse, excluded his suitability for release on parole. But the Government of South Australia amended its existing legislation to enable the Parole Board to apply for a non-parole period on behalf of the prisoner. Szach was not required to plead his case. What prompted the government to secure David Szach’s release under such extraordinary circumstances? 1 No precedent had existed for such an action by the government. A life sentence meant at least twenty years. With no strong backing from the media, no overwhelming plea from the public for justice, and no overruling physical or mental condition which might have persuaded the State Governor to act mercifully, how could Szach’s release happen? Nothing could account for the release of a convicted murderer before his time was up, unless, of course, David Szach had become an embarrassment or liability. Talk to anyone who has knowledge of Szach’s case, and serious doubts emerge about his conviction. A lawyer who would not be named said, ‘They knew he was innocent. David Szach was an embarrassment and wouldn’t accept his fate.’ Justice Millhouse granted David Szach parole on 23 March 1993. Released in May 1993, he straightaway contacted his lawyers about obtaining a review of the pathology evidence that played a central part in his conviction. David Szach needed clearance and closure. Three years after his release another sentence loomed. Afflicted with motor neurone disease, causing degeneration of nerves and loss of muscle function throughout his body, Szach had to fight against time to have his conviction overturned. His prime concern was not compensation but exoneration for a crime he had not committed. He wanted his two teenage sons to be free from the stigma of their father having been given a life sentence for premeditated murder. And he sought improvement for South Australia’s legal system. 2 Chapter 1 Body in the freezer A man in his mid-twenties, of slim build and shoulder- length hair, called on the offices of the Legal Services Commission in Adelaide at about 8.15 am on Tuesday 5 June 1979. Anne Shea, a conscientious receptionist at the Commission, first became aware of the man when he knocked on the window. The Commission offices were not yet open for business, but Ms Shea opened the door anyway to receive him. ‘Can I help you?’ she said. ‘Is Justin in?’ the man asked. ‘Have you an appointment?’ ‘No.’ Ms Shea, puzzled by this early morning request, asked, ‘Are you a client of Justin’s or is it about an application?’ ‘Not yet, but I need help.’ 3 ‘What type of matter is it?’ ‘A crime.’ ‘Have you seen a solicitor or is a solicitor willing to act for you?’ ‘Only Derrance Stevenson, but when I left him last night he was in no condition to act for anyone. I have to see Justin because he is the only lawyer in Adelaide who will help me.’ ‘You might ring later in the day and arrange an appointment,’ suggested Ms Shea. The young man sought assurance that anything he had said was confidential. Ms Shea gave that assurance, and the man left, never to be seen or heard of again. Justin O’Halloran, the solicitor, on being told about the young man, could shed no light on his identity. Mrs Flaherty, the relieving secretary for Derrance Stevenson, arrived at Derrance’s office at 189 Greenhill Road, Parkside, at 9 am on Tuesday 5 June 1979, to resume her duties, not suspecting anything untoward, and assuming that Derrance had gone to court because his car was not in the driveway. A little later Mrs Flaherty received two calls from clients to inform her that Derrance had not appeared in court. She became concerned about his whereabouts and at 11.20 am she received a call from Coober Pedy. A male voice asked, ‘Is Derrance there?’ 4 ‘No, he’s left for court,’ Mrs Flaherty said, wondering who the person was. ‘Could you please leave a message on Mr Stevenson’s desk? Would you tell him I have arrived safely and I’m just about to go and do what he asked. If he wants to contact me, he can contact me. I am at Christianos’ but I will ring him at nine o’clock tonight,’ said the caller. ‘Who is it?’ asked Mrs Flaherty, who had been caught out before with callers not leaving a name. ‘You know me. It’s David Szach.’ ‘You don’t know where he might be, do you, David, because I have had a couple of calls from clients and he hasn’t arrived in court?’ ‘No.’ ‘But I assumed he had gone to court, because his car was gone when I arrived for work,’ Mrs Flaherty said. ‘The car’s all right. Derrance lent me the car. It’s here with me in Coober Pedy.’ Following the phone call, Mrs Flaherty became increasingly worried, and at 11.45 am she phoned Derrance’s permanent secretary, Mrs Makowska, who suggested that Mrs Flaherty try to enter the living room, next door to Derrance’s office. Mrs Flaherty tried to open the door but it was locked. On resuming the call, Mrs Makowska remarked, ‘That’s strange. The door has never been locked before. There is a spare pair of keys in the strong room. You could try those.’ 5 With the spare keys, Mrs Flaherty entered the living room. The radio was on and the room was hot — heaters had been left on in the lounge, bedroom and bathroom. She noticed Derrance’s diary and inhaler. Derrance never went anywhere without those two items. Perplexed, she rang solicitor Peter Waye, a friend of Derrance’s, shortly after noon. Mr Waye became concerned and wanted to be kept informed. After another phone call at 3 pm to Mr Waye, the police were notified. The police arrived at the premises and began to search for clues that might lead to finding Derrance. Mrs Flaherty received her second call from David Szach, at 3.45 pm: ‘Is Derrance back yet?’ he said. ‘No! We are worried because we don’t know where he is. He hasn’t appeared in court,’ said Mrs Flaherty. ‘Oh! Could you leave a message on his desk to say, “I’ve done what you asked me to do. I came to get a stone cut and I had to go 40 miles out”.’ ‘Well, you know we are very worried.

  • Naretha Meteorite (Synonyms Kingoonya, Kingooya)
    Rec. West. Aust. Mus., 1976, 4 (1) NARETHA METEORITE (Sync;>nyms: Kingoonya, Kingooya) W.H. CLEVERLY* [Received 27 May 1975. Accepted 1 October 1975. Published 31 August 1976.1 ABSTRACT Much of the missing portion of the Naretha (Western Australia) meteorite has been located in museums as an un-named specimen and as two smaller specimens masquerading under the name 'Kingoonya' (or 'Kingooya'). The use of the junior synonyms with their implications of a South Australian site of find should be discontinued. INTRODUCfION Naretha meteorite, an L4 chondrite, was found in 1915 about 3 km north of the 205-mile station during construction of the Trans-Australian Railway. It was broken into at least three major pieces which were acquired by Mr John Darbyshire, Supervising Engineer for the construction of the western end of the railway (construction was proceeding simultaneously from both Kalgoorlie and Port Augusta ends - Fig. 1). Mr Darbyshire donated the meteorite to the W.A. School of Mines in Kalgoorlie where one' piece was retained and exhibited with a photograph of the reassembled meteorite (Fig. 2). A second fragment which was passed on to the Geological Survey of Western Australia was noted briefly by Simpson (1922) who first used the name 'Naretha', the name which had been given to the 205-mile station. There is strong presumptive evidence that the third fragment was passed on to Mr S.F.C. Cook of Kalgoorlie, a private collector from whose inaccurate verbal statements and undocumented collection, the subsequent confusion arose. In late 1926 Mr Cook gave a small piece of 'meteorite to Mr G.W.

  • Rear Admiral the Honourable Kevin Scarce AC CSC RAN (Rtd) Royal
    Rear Admiral the Honourable Kevin Scarce AC CSC RAN (Rtd) Royal Commissioner Nuclear Fuel Cycle Royal Commission GPO Box 11043 Adelaide SA 5001 3 August 2015 Dear Sir, This is my consolidated submission to the Nuclear Fuel Cycle Royal Commission addressing selected questions from all Issues Papers. Issues Paper One: Exploration, Extraction and Milling My response to Question 1.7 regarding the demand for uranium in the medium and long term is as follows. To begin, I quote the Commissioner from the article titled, “Jobs in nuclear industry are ‘decades away’”, published in The Advertiser on 25 July 2015: “If we decided – and we haven’t decided yet – to recommend parts of the nuclear fuel cycle, it would be a couple of decades before we started to see the major impact.” I submit that at this point in time there is no way to prove a sound basis exists for concluding there will be increased demand for uranium in the medium and long term. No doubt nuclear proponents will point to the world’s increasing energy needs, especially of the two developing giants, China and India. On the demand side, it is true the world will be looking for emissions-free energy on a massive scale to replace traditional fossil fuels. If uranium for producing nuclear energy was the only option to replace fossil fuels, I would not be writing this submission. The fact is, it is not the only option. Another, better option exists in renewable energy, and I submit that in a much shorter time than it would take to establish a nuclear industry in South Australia, the world will be turning to renewables in force while eschewing nuclear energy.

  • Citizens' Jury
    SUNDAY VERSION South Australia’s Citizens’ Jury on Nuclear Waste Final Report November 2016 “Under what circumstances, if any, could South Australia pursue the opportunity to store and dispose of nuclear waste from other countries?” Jury Summary Statement The Citizens Jury would like to Acknowledge that we have been meeting on Kaurna land and we pay our respects to the Traditional owners, past and present, across South Australia. The jury generally had a strong conviction in taking a position one way or another. Two thirds of the jury do not wish to pursue the opportunity under any circumstances and one third support a commitment to pursue under the circumstances outlined in this report. Introduction: Citizen’s Jury 2 (CJ2) was a group of 350 residents of South Australia who were brought together under the remit of discussing and reporting on the question: “Under what circumstances, if any, could South Australia pursue the opportunity to store and dispose of high level nuclear waste from other countries?”. To be clear, the jury considered only high-level nuclear waste. The people on Citizen’s Jury Two were selected to be broadly representative of the population of South Australia based on demographics (as best as was possible based on the responses to the initial invitation to take part). The 50 jurors from Citizen’s Jury One were also invited back to be part of the second jury process and approximately 30 of them decided to take part in the second jury. On the first day of the jury, we established some guiding principles for how we should approach the process.
