Norris cites legal issues for not releasing letters

DAVID NORRIS has again refused to release clemency letters he wrote for a former partner, saying legal issues prevent him from doing so.

“I’ve been told by my lawyers that these letters are subject to professional legal privilege, and I’ve been told that I cannot publish them,” he said.

Mr Norris has released a letter written to the judges of the Israeli supreme court in 1997 seeking clemency for Ezra Nawi, convicted of the statutory rape of a 15-year-old boy.
