Overview

"From the #1 True Crime podcast in Australia, 'A Perfect Storm'. The Dingo Took Over My Life is a true story, told by the Chamberlain's lawyer, Stuart Tipple, who led their fight for justice and exoneration. This story has become part of the fabric of Australian Culture and is still its high water mark of injustice. After raising the cry, ""The dingo's got my baby!"", Lindy Chamberlain was imprisoned for life with hard labour and had her baby, born in prison, taken from her. Following the accumulation of fresh scientific evidence which destroyed the prosecution case and confirmed her story, Lindy was released, after serving 3 years in prison and exonerated. This book shares that journey."
