STORY: 'No miscarriage of justice' - prosecution in Mark Lundy's murder appeal say no doubt over DNA evidence used to convict him," by reporter Emily Cooper, published by TV New Zealand on October 18, 2017.
GIST: The Crown in the appeal of
convicted murderer Mark Lundy has told the court there is no doubt that
DNA found on his shirt came from his wife's brain or spine. Lundy is serving a life sentence for the murder
of his wife Christine and seven-year-old daughter Amber in 2000. "There is no miscarriage of justice," Philip Morgan QC told the court during his submission. Lundy's
lawyers have been arguing that the test used on the spots found on the
polo shirt worn on the night of the murders is unreliable. But the Crown argues there is no doubt the DNA was brain tissue of Christine Lundy. The Crown says the DNA tests from both trials were robust, and two guilty verdicts sound.
"The tissue is unquestionably
central nervous system tissue... it's a fact because a group of world
leading experts say," Mr Morgan argued. The appeal is ongoing.
