Queensland DNA lab Project 13 inquiry : Commissioner Annabelle Bennett SC delivers findings

Annabelle Bennett SC has delivered her findings in the Project 13 inquiry – and nobody has been held responsible for the historic DNA disaster.

There was no fanfare when Commissioner Annabelle Bennett SC handed down her findings from the Project 13 inquiry.

Only disappointment that the inquiry failed to hold anyone responsible for the biggest disaster in the lab’s history. 

In this episode of Shandee’s Legacy, Dr Kirsty Wright joins Hedley Thomas, Claire Harvey, and David Murray to dissect and comment on the findings from this rare second inquiry, the future of a lab at the heart of the criminal justice system, and the case which started all of this: the slaying of Shandee Blackburn in 2013.
