: A New Zealand man who spent nearly 18 years in prison for a murder he did not commit will receive a multimillion-dollar compensation package, the government said Friday.
There was no forensic evidence linking Hall to the scene, and the assailant was said to be of a different height and ethnicity, but Hall was found guilty nonetheless.

The New Zealand government “apologises unreservedly for his wrongful convictions and imprisonment”, Russell said.
