LOL Maybe there weren't any straight faces when it was writtent. Good pick though as it wasn't exactly
true either. That said, the article was in essence a High Court of Australia v SCOTUS effort.

In inquiry into Lionel Murphy's conduct was halted when he announced he was dying of cancer. (Supplied)

A champion of legal reform, a charming rogue or a man who deliberately abused his power?

Key points:

* The Murphy affair began with an illegal police phone tap operation targeting corrupt bookmakers

* Murphy denied the allegations and a jury eventually acquitted him

* Former chief magistrate Clarrie Briese claims Murphy tried to pressure him

Lionel Murphy has been described by his supporters and detractors as all of the above and more.
