Royal Commission Clears Four Police In Pirie Inquiry
The second Royal Commission into the Pirie case reports that Constables Davis McCormack Adams and Claxton were not shown to have given false evidence. It finds no proof they knew Judd was drunk or that Simpson was assaulted, though it criticizes the failure to report Judd’s possible intoxication and notes an unwise disclosure about witnesses. The commission, chaired by Nesbit and others, runs twenty pages and discusses prior investigations and statements.
