Criminal charges could be brought over a murder trial that sent an innocent man to jail for 19 years. The Supreme Court has cleared Alan Hall's name, after he was convicted for the 1985 killing of 52-year-old Arthur Easton. The Crown lawyers who put Hall behind bars will now be investigated – and police will review whether to re-open the case. Marie Dyhrberg QC told Heather du Plessis-Allan it seems more than incompetence could have produced the injustice. “It would appear to have been accepted that evidence was held back, evidence was adjusted and therefore you are interfering with fair trial rights.” LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
