SHAME!

"Ma te whakama e patu"
Let shame be your punishment ~ Maori proverb

Remember this face!
This is sex pervert, Chris Campbell, an ex-district councillor whose convictions for possessing child pornography were overturned on appeal because of a technicality. Judge Raynor Asher ruled an affidavit appended with a search warrant was not well prepared.

So a child predator goes free. Disgusting! Very little outrages me more than sexual offences against children. Manufacturers of kid pornography, and the consumers who enable them, deserve odium without mercy. They're death penalty candidates (in my remorseless opinion). So remember this face and the name, Chris Campbell, so he may be cursed, spat at, and abused in the streets. Let him feel shame as retribution for his crimes.

The other 'criminal' in this case (imo) is Justice Asher. I've never understood society's reverence for judges. Few hold lawyers in high esteem. Their job is to interpret statutes. In everyday terms, we'd call them spin-masters; deceivers & liars. Judges are mere lawyers who've been promoted; I hold them both in contempt.

The appeal judge chose a very pedantic interpretation of the law. It may he been legally correct, but justice was not done. How many other serious criminals may walk free because of marginal infractions?: a spelling mistake or a minor detail wrongly recorded; basic human errors allowing human monstrosities to go unpunished.

So remember, too, the name, Justice Raynor Asher. May he also be widely vilified as a protector and enabler of child-rapists. And let shame be his punishment.

Good lawyer man not the judge, they work wonders. The fact minor formatting or grammatical errors can rule a warrant/affidavit invalid is plain stupid, I'm sure the intent of the warrant/affidavit was plain for all to see.

Of course, he's sewer scum whose public outing will (hopefully) get him a good hiding, pity it's not a hiding behind bars!
