The Privileges of a Killer's Courtroom The Victorian Court of Appeal has seen its share of dramatic moments, but last week's hearing in the Adrian Basham case took a disturbing turn.
During proceedings, Basham began to disrupt the court and stare down at his victim's family. This was not just a routine appeal – it was an exercise in entitlement.
Basham, 49, has been serving a life term with a non parole period of 30 years for murdering his ex wife, Samantha Fraser.
