Case #051 - The Trial of Alan Hall

From Crimes NZ, 5:00 am on 15 June 2023

In 1985, Arthur Easton was murdered by a bayonet wielding intruder, in his Papakura home.

His two sons were also injured trying to fight off the attacker.

In 1986, Alan Hall was convicted of the crime and spent 19 years in jail. But he has always protested his innocence and 37 years after Easton's death, Hall's convictions were quashed.
