There had been no forensic evidence linking Alan Hall to the murder scene.
WELLINGTON: A New Zealander 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. New Zealand’s Supreme Court admitted the initial trial had been unjust showing either “extreme incompetence” or “a deliberate and wrongful strategy to secure conviction.”
The New Zealand government “apologises unreservedly for his wrongful convictions and imprisonment”, Russell said.
