Author Lynley Hood on the quashing of Peter Ellis' convictions

Matt Heath & Tyler Adams Afternoons - A podcast by Newstalk ZB

Justice beyond the grave. The Supreme Court has quashed Peter Ellis' child abuse convictions after three decades of him maintaining his innocence. Ellis died before his name could be cleared. Today's decision points out expert evidence at his original trial shouldn't have been admitted -- and there was a high risk the children's evidence was contaminated. Lynley Hood - long time supporter of Peter Ellis and author of the book 'A City Possessed' - is pleased the case has been put to bed once and for all. Lynley Hood joined Simon Barnett & James Daniels after the judgement was revealed. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
