## Resource

James Vlassakis, a key witness in the Snowtown murder case, is up for parole after a twenty-five-year ban on showing his image is lifted. The Parole Board initially agreed to his release, but the Attorney-General requested a review. The Court of Appeal is now considering the case, with Vlassakis lawyer supporting his release. The legal system grapples with the gravity of his crimes against the value of his cooperation in bringing the other killers to justice.
