Overview

The civil trial of Moran vs Moran was a real life soap opera, which held the public in its thrall for 8 weeks from late January to late March 2000. The plaintiff in the Supreme Court was Kristina Moran who sat in the courtroom close to tears, and occasionally hysterics, as she gave, and listened to, evidence about the family into which she married in 1990. Five years later, with the marriage in tatters, her husband Brendan committed suicide. Kristina then sued her parents-in-law, Doug and Greta Moran, and her brother-in-law, Peter, claiming their physical and verbal abuse of Brendan led to the suicide. She was seeking compensation for herself and her two children. The trial was sensational for what it revealed about their extraordinary family, how the media reacted and how the public became greedy for more and more the Morans. This is the story of Doug Moran and his family, and the eventual trial.
