Welcome, Cockroaches, to Series2 Episode5.

This is a Judy Dalziel reads stuff aloud episode. If this is the first time you have visited us, please go back to Episode 4 to enjoy our usual stuff.

First up, we’re continuing with our serial, a gallop through the interesting bits of Strong Poison, by Dorothy L. Sayers.

Next, the legal stuff.

In this episode, we look at sentencing.

1. About Sentencing from the Sentencing Council of Victoria.
2. An example of sentencing remarks from a Judge Meryl Sexton.
3. An excerpt from a rather good ABC on line story.
