WA’s most dangerous man - Stewart Gorham

Stewart Sinclair Gorham is 54-years-old. In the last 33 years, he has only spent 100 days in the community. The rest have been spent in prison, locked up for truly hideous crimes. His history is so bad, that even he says he should never again be released from prison. He may well be Western Australia’s most dangerous man. Join host Tim Clarke and one of Australia's leading legal minds Tom Percy KC as they outline Gorham’s vile history and his terrifying plan to ensure that if he is released, he winds up either dead, or back behind bars. Plus, they explore the controversial and continuing debate over detaining people after their sentences are served -- and whether a balance is being struck between protecting the public and punishing beyond the pale.
