Don't leave us hanging...tell us the funny story...Tim Watson's book on Sheedy had a funny story about Edelsten. Apparently he & Leanne went out to dinner with Sheedy & Noel Judkins & a few Sydney officials , and Leanne disappeared after each course & came back in a different outfit, and later fell asleep at the table.
Then after the meal, Sheedy offered them a lift back to the city & they had to get in the back of his Celica which was full of newspapers & had dodgy brakes
78 yo found dead at home, I didn’t get that implication? Were there lifeline ph numbers at article end?So it's implied he offed himself?
One of these three gentlemen is a man of honour who has lived his life with integrity. (Hint, it's not the bloke in blue nor the bloke in yellow).
You pontificating puritan.A few excerpts from "Doctor" Edelston's highlights reel:
De-registered as a doctor (but still called himself one):
"In 1988, New South Wales removed Edelsten from its medical register for using unqualified staff."
Lied to the authorities to get himself re-instated:
"Representing himself, Mr Edelsten admitted he lied to the tribunal when he last applied to be reregistered in 2001, but had since seen the error of his ways."
Hired a hitman, Christopher Dale Flannery (aka Mr Rent-A-Kill):
"Edelsten was found guilty in 1990 of soliciting former hitman Christopher Flannery to assault a former patient. A taped telephone conversation between Geoffrey and Leanne Edelsten in the 1980s about Flannery was the key evidence that convicted him. At one point in the conversation, Leanne asked: "Bashing up people, is that all he [Flannery] does?" Edelsten replied: "No, he kills people ... nice young fella."
Convicted and jailed for perverting the course of justice:
"Edelsten had provided a medical certificate in 1984 stating that Flannery was unfit to stand trial because of an infection following tattoo removal surgery, leading to the trial being adjourned and Flannery's case not being heard by a particular judge. Edelsten and Flannery's wife testified at a Victorian Medical Board hearing that Flannery was ill and in hospital and that he had no contact with Edelsten before or at the time of the assault. However Edelsten was jailed for one year for perverting the course of justice and soliciting an assault."
A crook and a spiv, and always was. Like many crooks and spivs over the years, he tried to use football clubs to launder his reputation. Some clubs were dumb enough (Sydney) or desperate enough (Carlton) to go along with it.
