The barrister for the man accused of murdering campers Russell Hill and Carol Clay has told a Supreme Court jury the prosecution case had “gone off the rails”.
The legal team for accused double murderer Gregory Lynn says the Crown has embarked on a flawed prosecution of the former airline pilot, and repeatedly broke court rules to pursue its case against an innocent man.
Clockwise from left: A sketch of the campsite Greg Lynn drew for police, Lynn giving evidence at his trial last week, Carol Clay and Russell Hill. The prosecution, though, says it’s open to the jury to reject the accused man’s version of events and find that Lynn killed Russell Hill, 74, and Carol Clay, 73, with murderous intent at Bucks Camp in the Wonnangatta Valley on March 20, 2020. Lynn, 57, has pleaded not guilty to two charges of murder.“That is how desperate this prosecution case has become. Outside the rules, making things up, all on this big stage. It just smacks of a prosecution case that’s gone off the rails.
“You might’ve thought that was the centrepoint of the final address. But it’s a matter of absolute insignificance,” Dann told the court.“The prosecution are clinging to the flimsy rope as if it’s their lifeline.”last week, prosecutor Daniel Porceddu failed to question the accused man on his version of events regarding the knife that Lynn says killed Hill.
