Michael was also put in jail for some time. Lindy was released only after Azaria's jacket was found near a dingo lair and new inquests were opened. In 2012, 32 years after Azaria's death, ...

Misconduct In Public Office
Malfeasance in office is often grounds for a just cause removal of an elected official by statute or recall election. Malfeasance in office contrasts with "misfeasance in office", which is the commission of a ''lawful'' act, done in an official capacity, that improperly causes harm; and "nonfeasance in office," which is the failure to perform an official duty. An exact definition of malfeasance in office is difficult: many highly regarded secondary sources (such as books and commentaries) compete over its established elements based on reported cases. This confusion has arisen from the courts where no single consensus definition has arisen from the relatively few reported appeal-level cases involving malfeasance in office.

It is confined to those who are public office holders, and ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
