Julie Appelgren,Ross Appelgren的遗孀,Julie Appelgren正在上诉上诉法院,以推翻她丈夫在1985年在Mt Eden监狱死亡的囚犯Darcy Te Hira的1992年谋杀案,并援引新的证据,证明一名关键证人Ernie是接受经济奖励和提前释放的秘密保护计划的一部分,审判时没有透露详情。 Julie Appelgren, widow of Ross Appelgren, is pursuing a Court of Appeal appeal to overturn her husband’s 1992 murder conviction in the 1985 death of inmate Darcy Te Hira at Mt Eden prison, citing new evidence that a key witness, Ernie, was part of a secret protection program receiving financial incentives and early release—details not disclosed at trial. 她的法律团队辩称，厄尼的可信度受到损害，他最初的陈述与他的证词相矛盾，另一名囚犯对毒品相关袭击的供词也被隐瞒。 Her legal team argues Ernie’s credibility is compromised, his initial statements contradicted his testimony, and another inmate’s confession to a drug-related attack was withheld. 该案可能成为新西兰在死后第一次推翻定罪,在1990年因证据被拒而撤销原定罪之后。 The case, which could become New Zealand’s first posthumous conviction overturning, follows a 1990 quashing of the original conviction due to withheld evidence. 随着上诉的进行,王室拒绝发表意见。 The Crown has declined to comment as the appeal proceeds.
