WA: Lovell to be sentenced next week for commission contempt
Perth author AVON LOVELL must wait another week to learn whether he'll be jailed forcontempt of the West Australian police royal commission.
The 57-year-old was to be sentenced today over failing to front the commission on July15, and then on July 17 refusing to be sworn in, declaring instead he was going home fora cuppa.
It's believed the royal commission wants to question LOVELL about an affidavit by formerdetective TONY LEWANDOWSKI admitting to framing the MICKELBERG brothers over the 1982Perth Mint swindle.
But LOVELL argued with Commissioner GEOFFREY KENNEDY he had no power to compel him to testify.
