> Sir,
>
> I would like to know why a senior Brisbane police officer, Detective
> Sergeant Michael Mageros was tried by a jury, as opposed to NSW dentist,
> John Wilson who was refused a jury trial.
>
> Mageros was tried on a charge of flashing his genitals in designer
swimwear
> stores - and subsequently found not guilty.
>
> Wilson was suing a NSW bank for charging Loan Repayments at a variable
rate
> of interest.
> He expected, and asked for the bank to appear before a jury. He was
denied.
> In frustration he threw paint at the judge and is now in gaol.
>
> Which is the greater crime?
>
> Exposing one's genitals, or exposing fraudulent bank charges?
>
> Queenslander, Martin Essenberg who also wishes to appear before a jury on
a
> right to bear arms question, is like wise denied such opportunity. In this
> case, the presiding magistrate gave the opinion that the Magna Carta was
not
> recognised in 'this Court'.
>
> Now which is the greater crime?
>
> Exposure or manipulation?
>
> In the eyes of the people it must be manipulation. The Magistrate in

an
> unresearched, unjust and repressive law.

> It would have been an interesting referendum result had the Queensland
State
