Bill Spedding has made his case for malicious prosecution, now he waits for a judge's decision
ABCYears after he was outed — and then cleared — as a suspect in the disappearance of William Tyrrell, a court has heard the investigation still haunts Bill Spedding. Mr Spedding, 70, claims police used the charges as a ploy to intimidate and "crack him open" in the Tyrrell investigation. Mr Canceri said that after Mr Spedding was questioned about William's disappearance in January 2015, one officer told him: "We know you did it. Mr Spedding claims after being charged with the historical offences, Mr Jubelin allegedly leaned close to his face and said: "Mr nice washing machine man, I'm going to ruin you." Justice Harrison asked Mr Jubelin point-blank what he would say to the suggestion the charges were laid to put "extra pressure" on Mr Spedding.
