Having served his time and with all legal avenues to keep him in
prison exhausted, a convicted child sex offender and child killer
will soon be released.
New South Wales Attorney General Mark Speakman has been in the
midst of an extraordinary legal battle over recent months to keep
68-year old Michael Anthony Guider behind bars despite the fact the
full term of his 23 year sentence expired in June.
AG seeking advice
Mr Speakman is now
seeking urgent legal advice as to whether he can challenge a
NSW Supreme Court decision to Mr Guider walk free later this week,
but it seems unlikely that an appeal can be mounted in time.
Mr Guider was imprisoned on sixty child sexual offences in 1996,
involving more than a dozen prepubescent boys and girls.
