Mark Lundy; Retrial. Radio New Zealand reporter Sharon Lundy (no relation) recaps the second week of the retrial - noting that week two closed: "with the defence trio of David Hislop, Ross Burns and Julie-Anne Kincade questioning many aspects of the Crown's case, from the methodology used to establish how many kilometres Mr Lundy travelled in his car leading up to the deaths to what protective gear the police were or were not using when they locked up and examined his car."

STORY: "Mark Lundy trial: the second week," by reporter Sharon Lundy (no relation) published by Radio New Zealand on February 22, 2015.

GIST: "The second week of Mark Lundy's murder trial opened with the prosecution painting a picture of his increasingly desperate financial situation. It closed with the defence painting a picture of a botched police investigation and possible evidence contamination......... Week two of the trial closed with the defence trio of David Hislop, Ross Burns and Julie-Anne Kincade questioning many aspects of the Crown's case, from the methodology used to establish how many kilometres Mr Lundy travelled in his car leading up to the deaths to what protective gear the police were or were not using when they locked up and examined his car. One officer admitted to not wearing a protective suit when he reached into Mr Lundy's car to steer it into a police garage but when he said he could not remember whether he was wearing gloves, Mr Hislop asked whether he was "doing your best to help this jury". Another officer, trying to explain what the defence said were discrepancies in when he found a silver bracelet in Mr Lundy's car, when he showed it to a friend of Mrs Lundy's and when he recorded it as evidence, was asked if he was "making this up as you go along"."
