Magistrate Ross Hudson today found the former detective guilty of all four counts and slammed Jubelin for pursuing Mr Savage "at all costs".
"This was above and beyond legality," he said.
Magistrate Hudson said Jubelin belittled and humiliated Mr Savage in lengthy interviews, with a repetition that "may be seen as offensive", despite there being no evidence to confirm his involvement.
"There's no DNA, there's no fingerprints, there's nobody who says 'I saw him go into the backyard', there's no leads, there's nothing," the magistrate said.
But Magistrate Hudson said Jubelin came across in court as
"a person playing a role, telling a story", his evidence "self-evidently partisan" and his answers at times "lengthy and self-serving". bbm

Dan was recruited by GJ so to speak to take an interest and report upon the Bowraville case, which Dan did and ended up writing a book about. Other members have pointed out a quote from the book which shows information GJ did not share with Dan about some witnesses that the court found to be unreliable which GJ was relying upon..... Any of those members who have the excerpt, I'd be interested to see it posted again.
