Stacey: The Life, Style and Trials of a Great New Zealand Man
Author(s): David McGill
Roy Stacey was from the late 1940s to the 1980s the capital lawyer to go to. He defended the downtrodden and the different: displaced immigrants at war's end, warweary sailors jumping ship, bookmakers, brothel keepers, those charged with murder when hanging was the ultimate penalty, and most famously, transsexual Carmen from the champing jaws of Robert Muldoon and the powerful Parliamtenary Privileges Commitee when she alleged one MP in four was homosexueal. Roy Stacey was the closest we have come to a real-life Rumpole of the Bailey, a colourful character in and out of court who cared and shared long before it was PC.
