Mandatory Murder is a compelling true crime account by award-winning journalist Steven Schubert, who was based in Katherine, Northern Territory, when the events unfolded. The book delves into the 2011 murder of Ray Nicefero and the subsequent trial of Zak Grieve, a 19-year-old Indigenous man who was sentenced to 20 years in prison despite not being present at the crime scene. Schubert meticulously examines the complexities of the case, including the controversial application of mandatory sentencing laws and the social dynamics within the community. The narrative raises critical questions about justice, race, and the legal system in remote Australia.
