In 2004, outside a pub, Australian Cricket legend David Hookes died. A manslaughter charge was laid, and a trial ensued. But no one was convicted, why? What were the processes that lead to the verdict, and how were the police involved? As well, what Underbelly doesn't show you. An unprecedented look at the killing of Alphonse Gangitano and the chaos which proceeded it - and, the Frankston Serial Killer Paul Denyer, and how he was caught. Charlie Bezzina is an unrelenting legend of Victorian Police - the man who helped catch Frankston Serial Killer Paul Denyer, and a key member of the team which fought against organised crime during the Melbourne Gangland wars of the 2000s. In his 35 plus year career, Bezzina has gone up against larger than life figures of the Australian crime world - but, in this chat with host Brent Sanders, understand the man behind the stories, and get an inside look into Bezzina and the world around him.

In this episode of our podcast,  yisitso.au   Paul & Vince dive into a topic that's both timely and contentious: government interference with judges and the paradox of laws that seem to contradict their intended purposes. As societies evolve, the judicial system is supposed to be a bastion of impartiality and fairness. However, recent events have shown a troubling trend of political meddling in judicial affairs, raising questions about the integrity and independence of our courts. Joining us to unravel these complex issues is Charlie Bezzina, a veteran law enforcement officer with decades of experience in navigating the intricacies of the legal system. Charlie brings a wealth of knowledge from his years on the front lines, providing a unique perspective on how governmental pressures can influence judicial decisions and how certain laws, rather than upholding justice, can sometimes undermine it. Tune in as we explore these critical topics, shedding light on the delicate balance between law and politics, and what it means for justice in our society.
