Chelsea Daniels: Front Page Host on Philip Polkinghorne's community service sentence for meth charges

Kerre Woodham Mornings Podcast - A podcast by Newstalk ZB

A community service sentence ends the saga of Philip Polkinghorne.  The former Auckland eye surgeon has returned to the High Court in Auckland today – more than a month after he was acquitted of murdering his wife Pauline Hanna.  He's been sentenced to 150 hours community work after admitting to a meth charge.   The Front Page's Chelsea Daniels spoke to Kerre Woodham from the High Court at Auckland and says the possibility of a fine was discussed.  She says Justice Graham Lang didn't believe a fine would be enough to hold Polkinghorne to account, given his “healthy” financial position.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
