Breaker Morant should get a break.

Not completely off point, and it is Sunday.  I certainly remember a number of NJS and other military law related CLE’s using the movie Breaker Morant to discuss aspects of military law and justice.

So here is an article in the Sydney Morning Herald by an Australian military lawyer who argues that Morant and his co-accused Handcock should receive a pardon.

“Get it right, you b’s: the fight to clear Breaker Morant’s name,” Steve Meacham, SMH.
