pickBk12 of April & Bk2 of #Deweys24hr #readathon is done! As an ebook it‘s also my #doublespin book of April🎉 Wow. This was one crazy story, all the more so coz it‘s true. The blatant crossing of the line where ethics, morality & the law were tossed out the window by the people sworn to uphold it is very disturbing. Not often you feel sorry for the criminals! #NonFictionBingo2021 #PickYourPoison #NerdReading2021 #AussieAuthor21 #CloakDaggerChal 👇
Having a quick electrolyte break coz I‘m still not feeling the best. This book! I thought I had a pretty good grasp of what went down during the Gangland Wars & the Lawyer X case, but boy was I wrong. I cannot believe both Vic Police & Gobbo got away with what they did. Takes an extraordinary case to make you feel sorry for the hit men! #Deweys24hr #readathon
What the hell Scribd? I‘m 6 chapters away from finishing this ebook when it disappeared because it “expired”. But it‘s still there as an audiobook. What‘s the difference?? Except for I find it easier to read NF instead of listening to it as it‘s easy to get lost in the facts. Guess I‘ll be hoping the local bookstore has a copy tomorrow. So my 1st book of #Deweys24hr #readathon is on hold for now🤷🏻♀️.
And here we go! Let‘s see how many hours I manage this #Deweys24hr #readathon #deweysreadathon
“Gobbo was never further than a phone call away from murder. Most lawyers are not called before, during & after the crime.”
This book is blowing my mind. How did they get away with it for so long? It‘s not just Gobbo herself that‘s the villain here, Victoria Police have a LOT to answer for. #policecorruption #resultsbeforeethics
This particular case is one of the worst Gobbo was implicated in. A dealer called Terry Hodson turned informant in exchange for charges being dropped against his daughter. The cop in charge was dirty & organised a robbery on a drug house with Hodson & but they were caught. Hodson flipped on the cops so they stole his informers file from HQ, gave it to Gobbo who shared it with her gangland clients. Terry Hodson & his wife were soon shot dead.😔
Just started this ebook on Scribd as my #doublespin book of April. A true crime about the shocking story of how Victorian Police used a barrister as a CI during the gangland war that rocked Melbourne during the 90s/00s. Nicola Gobbo informed on her clients & their associates for years, people that no matter how awful, she‘d taken an oath to defend & keep their secrets. So many people dead or in jail can be traced back to her.
