Synopsis | Get Shorty (2024)
Rotting in prison for decades now, Stephen 'Shorty' Jamieson’s file is marked “Never to be released”. He is one of Australia’s most reviled criminals, because in 1988 Jamieson was the ringleader of group of young thugs who abducted, raped and murdered 20yearold Janine Balding. It was a truly shocking crime. But Jamieson has always denied any involvement in the murder, repeatedly saying he wasn’t even there. Most people would easily dismiss the pleas of a despised murderer, but as Nick McKenzie reports, a number of eminent experts have listened. They’ve been reviewing Stephen 'Shorty' Jamieson’s file and are now questioning his conviction.
