On a lonely highway in the middle of the night, two teenage Aboriginal girls are killed in a crash—their bodies thrown from a Toyota Hilux when it rolls at high speed. This story is about the justice system that saw white, drunk driver Alexander Ian Grant acquitted of killing Mona Lisa Smith & Jacinta Rose Smith and of a charge of indecently interfering with 15 year-old Jacinta when she was dead. It describes the events which led to their violent deaths, analyses the police case, which was so fragmented that it failed to gain a conviction, and seeks to understand what caused the deaths of the girls, why the police got it so wrong and how the accused walked away from the crash without a scratch and away from the court a free man.
