BG> Ae you suggesting that he may have been set up by this person?

No, the original informant stumbled across it, farmer type. Mackay had
been making a big stink for a long time about the pathetic sentences
that the pot growers were getting in the courts and the stuff about them
not being kicked out of the country and Grazebys involvement etc. The
cops were well known to be up to their necks in it, so the bloke told
Don, presumably thinking that if anyone could get some action past the
cop minders he could. He did too. Then the cops and mafia executed him.

RS> He told the cops. During that trial, the cops notebook
RS> accidentally allowed the defense lawyer to see who the
RS> informant was the cops had heard about it from. Bye bye Don.

BG> I get the impression that you suspect this was intentional too.

Yep, I dont have any doubt at all. The alibi for the well known
mafias on the night of his execution was just so damned obvious
that it cant have been anything else IMO.

RS> The senior cops were even having a big dinner at the biggest of
RS> the restaurants in town that night, with the local mafia names like
RS> Trimbole and Tony Sergi on the night he was executed, a Friday evening.
RS> Provide the name, provide a cast iron alibi, great service what ?

BG> I wonder if my ex-wife would enjoy a holiday in Griffith then?
BG> If so, I'll buy two tickets forthwith, one return, and one single |-)

Probably cheaper to just get one of the local branch to do it there.

It actually happened relatively recently in Bris too, 94 pretty sure.
The neighbors actually saw the executioner walking away down the drive.

The sequel a month or two later here, actually in an adjacent town,
the brother of the one executed in Bris. Shot gun in the knee this time.
By a miracle his neighbour came over a few minutes later to borrow some
machinery. He would have bled to death otherwise. Still lost the leg.
He claimed it was an accident to the cops.

RS> It remains to be seen if the one who got locked up for it even
RS> actually did it. Extremely suspicious that no body was ever found,
RS> he literally vanished.

BG> The most commonly espoused theory is that he ended up being mixed with
BG> kangaroo meat in cans of dog food, courtesy of some processing plant on
BG> the river near Griffith.  As bodies have a nasty habit of eventually
BG> turning up at the most inopportune times, I'd say this was likely.

The story had got gloriously mangled over the years. There is no
kangaroo meat processing plant on the river near Griffith. The closest
dog food plant is Uncle Bens in Albury, a fucking long way away.

There were all sorts of story about what happened to the body.

They even ripped up a whole reinforced concrete slab for one of
the shops in the main street, which had been poured a day or so
after the execution, owned by one Tony Sergi |-)

I actually know one fellow very well, a tradesman, who paid
a visit to the utterly notorious Sergi winery in Tharbogan
the next day and apparently the scene was quite bizarre |-)

Thats a different Tony Sergi, generally the one people call
'Tony Sergi of the Winery'
