Andrew Fraser is a former high profile lawyer in Melbourne who was sentenced to seven years in prison with a minimum sentence of five years in prison in 2001 for being consciously concerned about the inclusion of commercial cocaine. In 2006, Fraser was released two months earlier from the date of his release from the Fulham Correctional Center after agreeing to provide evidence against serial killer Peter Dupas in his trial for the murder of Mersina Halvagis. He applied for part of a $ 1 million reward to complete the murder.

Television interview
In 2007, Fraser gave an interview to Andrew Denton Pretty Rope and published a book titled Court In The Middle, which was claimed to be the "true story of cocaine, police, corruption and imprisonment". Both on the Rope Enough and in his book, Fraser accused the widespread use of drugs in Victoria's prison system, claiming that Fulham "was flooded with drugs". He also accused corruption within the Victoria Police and the prison system run by the Victoria Correction. Fraser acknowledged in the book that he was addicted to cocaine before his arrest, but claimed that he had been clean ever since.
