Please don't read it you're upset over abuse stuff.

Someone who was a number of years ago convicted of mass murdering his family (13 years I think) has had his murder convictions quashed by the Privy Council in London (NZ's alma mater, so to speak, as a member of the Commonwealth).

Tomorrow he should go free, due to a botched police enquiry, disregarded evidence, and a really BS trial.

The Privy Council found that there was 'reasonable doubt', and hopefully there will NOT be a retrial.

Basically, the young man of the family was accused of the family massacre, when most of the evidence points to the father who had been banished to a caravan from the family home and was about to be outed for an incestuous relationship with his teenage daughter.

My thoughts tomorrow are with what I think is the wrongly accused - but no amount of compensation can make up for so many years behind bars for an innocent party ...

Police trying to put on a good face and 'solve' a crime ... what a joke.

sorry to ramble ... my faith in justice has been well shaken over the years :>
