Former Lake Alice patient shares story in hopes to raise awaren

A former patient of the Lake Alice psychiatric hospital says while he can not tell the court about his experience there, his story is an important reminder of the need to investigate claims of maltreatment. Steve Watt was due to give evidence in the case against Dempsey Corkran, the only former staff member of the unit to face prosecution for the horrors there in the 1970s. But 91 year-old Corkran's trial will not go ahead because of his ill-health. Jimmy Ellingham spoke to Mr Watt about what he wanted to tell the court.
