PUBLISHER'S NOTE: I wish to extend my condolences to the families and friends of those who have so senselessly lost their lives in the attack at the Boston Marathon - and to extend my sympathy to the many people - including some from other countries - who have suffered physical injuries and mental shock. My thoughts also go to the people of Boston, a fabulous resilient city. I'm sure they will not be cowed by terror. They will be an example to all of us.

STORY: "Mark Lundy appeal date confirmed, published by TVNZ on April 17, 2013.
GIST: "The Privy Council has confirmed it will hear Mark Lundy's appeal against his murder convictions from June 17 in London.........Lundy is serving a life sentence with a non-parole period of 20 years
after a jury found him guilty of killing his wife Christine and
daughter Amber, 7, in their Palmerston North home in August 2000......... Lundy was convicted of murder after a six week trial but claimed he
could not have been responsible for the deaths because he was in
Wellington on business and met with a prostitute. But the jury accepted the Crown's argument that he had time to drive
to Palmerston North, commit the murders, and return to Wellington. After exhausting all judicial avenues in New Zealand, Lundy's lawyers filed papers with the Privy Council in November. They will argue that the Crown's case was based on flawed science and
will question key evidence, including specks of brain tissue found on
Mark Lundy's shirt. The Privy Council will hear the case over three days in June."
