Against All Odds:

In the early 50's there was an incident that a young Aborigine male named Max Stewart was accused of rape and murder and was sentenced to death without having a trial, the movie that was made about this case is called: Black and white 2002

An attorney named OSullivan stood up to defend Max, and even when he lost in one of the trials he appealed and to the high court and used the press to get attention to this case.

This was very important for it made people get out of their ambient and not to ignore it as another Aborigine.

The problem was that no matter what the attorney did it can not be allowed for him to win the case, for winning the case will show that the police is corrupted, and it will shake the power and creditability he had at the public's eye.

But the attorney kept fighting because he knew he had to save him from death row.

In the end the verdict was changed from death row, and guilty of murder to guilty with rape and serving time although Max was innocent.

It was important for me to share this with you for it shows that fighting for what you know is right- doesn't mean that it's easy, but still one must fight and not stand by and watch things happen.

Eventually there were some results to Sullivan's fight:

1) Max got a trial.

2) The verdict was changed

3) It made the public aware

4) A movie was done to inspire.
