All in all, a pretty disappointing listen. I don't feel enriched by the experience at all. I mean, I spent nearly four hours learning about a case and nothing was resolved at the end of the listen. Between the non-resolution or uncovering of anything new of note by Whittaker's investigation and the repetitiveness of information and sound bites, I can't recommend this one to anyone.

At least I'm only out the time and not any money since it was free on Audible. ( )

Blood Territory, The Death of Jimmy O’Connell, by Mark Whittaker (audio book). Published 2019. If ever there were a list of books that did not need to be written, this would be on that list. It’s the story of a murder, over a decade after the conviction of the supposed murderer and his release from prison, written by an investigative reporter who thought the wrong person might have been convicted. The murder took place in the Northern Territories of Australia, and involved aboriginal people, some of whom, including the victim’s family, thought the wrong man has been convicted, possibly because of racism. This book is the story of the crime (as much as could be inferred from evidence), circumstances leading up to the death, possible suspects who were not pursued by police, alibi stories, the trial and conviction, and the life of everyone during and after the murderer’s incarceration. The result, to me, was anticlimactic and raised the question of why did this book get published. C’est la vie. ( )

I enjoyed the narrators voice and cadence. I just thought there was a lot about the story itself left to desire. The investigative audios I'm used to do just that, investigate. This just felt like a regurgitation of the facts with audio clips peppered throughout.

I almost feel like this would have been done better as a Casefile episode. ( )

Retroactive True-Crime Investigation
Review of the Audible Original audiobook (August 2019)

Blood Territory is a retroactive true-crime investigation of a 2006 murder near Darwin, Australia in the Northern Territory. Despite the click-baity title and synopsis the leads towards alternative solutions to the crime are not able to resolve the mystery. The main suspect had pled guilty to a lesser charge of manslaughter in order to avoid a life sentence. He is now out of prison and tells his side of the story which is believed by the victim's parents.

The main revelation of all of this is the apparent level of incompetence by the coroner's office and the police at the time of the initial crime, when it was absurdly categorized as a suicide. The later conspiracy theories of a police vengeance plot and a vigilante retribution seem very far-fetched. There is also a tinge of racism to the story with the suspect being of mixed background. Some interesting points are made about indigenous culture being in conflict with colonial culture such as indigenous cultures discussing things in an indirect rather than direct manner. Also that indigenous culture usually dictates a positive response to questioning, so that interrogation about crimes will invariably produce "yes" answers. Those sorts of aspects did make the story dramatic and interesting and did increase the likelihood of a miscarriage of justice.

Mark Whittaker narrates the story well enough. Many participants and witnesses did not cooperate in the investigation and their statements had to be re-enacted by actors in the studio.

Blood Territory was one of the Audible Original free gifts to members for the month of March 2020, after which it will revert to regular price. It was originally released in August 2019 for a regular price and is available to everyone.

Trivia and Link
A 2009 Australian news report of the case can be read online at the Sydney Morning Herald. The link was active as of March 2020. ( )
