Media release: Responding to Victoria Police's Statement on Mr Big and Glenn Weaven

Victoria Police recently issued a statement standing behind the investigation that led to Glenn Weaven's conviction for the 2008 death of Mary Lou Cook, while declining to comment further on the specifics of the covert methods employed. This was in response to a recently released multipart podcast series ‘Mr Big’ produced by the ABC which looked into the case. 

The Bridge of Hope Innocence Initiative has been looking into Weaven’s case for several years. We believe various aspects of the case, including the use of the Mr Big policing technique, indicate serious flaws in the investigation.
