Waiting for Elijah is an account of a tragedy that didn't have to happen - the 2009 shooting go 24 year old Elijah Holcombe by a police officer in Armidale. It is also an intense, forensic deconstruction of the extended legal proceedings that followed and a heartbreaking portrait of a family's grief.  Kate Wild and Sharelle Fellows discuss this compelling narrative and the research and reportage that went into it.  (CW - This podcast talks about death and mental health and may trigger some people.
