Brian Henry is the lawyer who represented Susan Couch; the woman almost beaten to death when William Bell went on a murderous rampage at the Mt Wellington-Panmure RSA in 2001 while under Probation monitoring.

He talks to Newstalk ZB's Alex Mason about the handling of Tony Robertson - the man who raped and murdered Blessie Gotingco after previously abducting and molesting a five year old girl - and our fatally flawed system for dealing with high-risk offenders who shouldn't be let out into the community.
