Description

No Verdict. New Zealand's Hung Jury Crisis by John Goulter. Some of New Zealand's longest and most controversial recent criminal trials have ended in hung juries. Two Wellington juries could not decide if John Barlow was guilty of murdering Gene and Eugene Thomas. A Christchurch jury failed to reach a conclusion about the charge of murder against Vicky Calder after her former lover, Professor David Lloyd, fell mysteriously ill. In Palmerston North, the trial of Heather Ross over the death of two babies in her care also resulted in a hung jury. Is the New Zealand jury system failing? By the mid 1990s more than 10 per cent of cases in the High Court resulted in a hung jury.
