No miscarriage of justice at stop-go murder trial - Crown
A police interview with a man convicted of killing roadworker, George Taiaroa, in 2013 seriously breached his rights, but the Crown says that did not warrant any reduction in his sentence. Lawyers for Quinton Winders went to the Court of Appeal yesterday seeking to overturn his conviction and sentence. Winders was sentenced to life imprisonment and ordered to spend at least 17 years behind bars for murdering Mr Taiaroa, who was shot dead while operating a stop-go sign in Waikato. RNZ court reporter, Ann Marie May was at the Court of Appeal. She joins us to discuss the details.
