I have now read all the major books written about Jimmy Governor, beginning with the one written by Frank Clune in 1959.
I will be reviewing each one here over the next couple of weeks.
A 'forensic' was originally a forum to allow someone accused of a misdemeanor to present their case. This is a forum for Jimmy Governor, a part-Aboriginal itinerant farm worker who in a week in July 1900 brutally murdered 10 people, including my great grand-mother, three of her children and their school teacher. This is also a forum for his victims. My aim is to investigate the matter further, iron out the many conflicting 'facts', and view what happened from a 21st century perspective.
