Chief Justice attacks WA's Attorney-General for blocking court web streaming WEST Australian Chief Justice Wayne Martin has launched an extraordinary attack on the state Attorney-General Michael Mischin, accusing him of interfering in the independence of the judiciary by stepping in to halt plans to web stream court cases live because he is personally opposed to the practice. In a statement issued today, Chief Justice Martin expressed "serious concern" at Mr Mischn's decision to stop a project which would allow the court to web stream cases live to the public. He had hoped it could have been used to broadcast the upcoming appeal hearing in the high-profile Rayney case in August. Last year lawyer Lloyd Rayney was found not guilty of the murder of his wife Corryn, a Supreme Court registrar, in the most-watched trial in the state's recent history.
