See Wikipedia account: "Christine Marie Lundy, 38, and her 7-year-old daughter Amber Grace Lundy were murdered in Palmerston North, New Zealand, on 29 August 2000. Mark Edward Lundy (then age 43), Christine's husband and Amber's father, was arrested and charged with the murders in February 2001.[1] In 2002 he was convicted of the murders after a six-week trial and was sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum non-parole period of 17 years. He took his case to the Court of Appeal; the appeal was rejected and the court increased his non-parole period to 20 years.[2] In June 2013 Lundy appealed to the Privy Council in Britain.[3] In its decision, announced four months later, the Council quashed the convictions and ordered a re-trial.[4] Lundy served nearly thirteen years in prison and is now free on bail.........In November 2012, Lundy applied to Judicial Committee of the Privy Council seeking permission to appeal his murder convictions. The appeal was based on three issues: the time of shutdown of Christine's computer, the validity of the science used to identify matter on Lundy's shirt as brain tissue and the examination of stomach contents used to determine the time of death.[24][25] Mr Lundy's legal team submitted that examination of stomach content to determine time of death was internationally discredited as bad science. The Privy Council also found that the science used to identify the speck of tissue found on Mark Lundy's polo shirt was controversial and there was reason to doubt its accuracy."[26]
