Stewart O’Connell

Stewart O’Connell is a lawyer known for representing clients in high-profile cases, particularly those involving civil rights and police misconduct. Recently, he has been in the news for advocating on behalf of Hannah Thomas, a Greens candidate who sustained an eye injury during a protest. O’Connell criticized the police for their handling of the situation, calling for accountability and questioning the appropriateness of charges against Thomas, which he argues are unjust given the circumstances surrounding her arrest.
