Chris Dawson brainwashed daughters with cruel lie about mum Lynette

The daughter of convicted murderer Chris Dawson has revealed the cruel lie she and her sister were told after their mother Lynette disappeared.

That's possible. But if what you're saying about Lyn's last movements had been accepted at the trial, and if there was also evidence that Chris was at home, then there would have been reasonable doubt that Chris caused her death.

Where were the girls?

Where were the girls?

Back in Thread #4, Page 47, there was a post about a "Mystery Witness No28" who had not been subpoenaed. Is it known why he was not called to give evidence at the trial?

You'd have to ask the prosecutors that!
But it didn't help so many stories about the Hitman, sorry scenarios

Does anyone know of any details around the appeal?

After reading most of the verdict, I'm struggling to even wonder what the defence's argument could be...

...an earthquake...a terrible flood...locusts perhaps?

I just had a look, and I think all he has done is file an Intention to Appeal, which should be done early.

The Intention to Appeal form is not yet looking for a specific reason(s) for the appeal.

I imagine they can probably withdraw the intention, if they can't come up with a reason that will warrant an appeal.


Lodging a Notice of Intention to Appeal (NIA)
You must lodge your NIA within 28 days of being sentenced.
If you want to appeal your conviction, you do not have to wait until you are sentenced. You should lodge the NIA for a conviction appeal straight away and, if you want to appeal the sentence later as well, you can do this too by lodging another NIA for a sentence appeal.
The effect of lodging your NIA is that you tell the court you are thinking about appealing and then the court gives you 12 more months to actually lodge an appeal.

The driver never looked at me he looked at the ground, car park ,he walked around the side of the van he walked the end of the van, other side then got in, remember it's night-time 8:30 9 pm he reversed at speed jerked and took off a speed, no lights turn left fast and drove up the street with no lights.... I stood there shocked for 10 to 20 seconds

You said you remember the way he treated her that night. That's not really "treating her" any type of way, that's just driving like a hoon. Was there more to it?

 

[Witness 28]

I understand driving like a hoon, is doing burnouts and street racing....
Van reverses and jerks to a stop... and takes off at speed and speeds up the road

How likely is it that this will be live streamed?

 

[Cliff Hardy]

The 10 week wait is over - it's sentencing day.

10 weeks from the guilty verdict that is but in reality, over 40 years.

Things due to kick off in about 3 hours from now.

Victim Statements being made, the heartbreaking from Lyn's Daughter.
IMO, One sentence so powerful, "You are not God."
