Mathematician Scott Johnson's body was found a the base of cliffs in Sydney in 1988.
An Australian man who confessed to killing US mathematician Scott Johnson in 1988 has had his conviction overturned on appeal.
Mr White - who was 18 at the time of the alleged murder at North Head in Manly - had surprised his legal team when he declared "I am guilty" during a pre-trial hearing in the New South Wales Supreme Court in January. On Friday, the NSW Appeal Court found that the application to withdraw the plea should be considered again, setting aside Mr White's conviction and sentence.Speaking outside court, the detective in charge of investigating Mr Johnson's death, Peter Yeomans, said the man's US-based family were "very disappointed" with the outcome.
