The murder of Corryn Rayney, Perth, Western Australia in 2007. In my opinion a combination of poor police investigation and prosecutorial mistakes lead to the acquittal of her husband, a prominent Perth lawyer, at a judge only trial in 2010.

There is still a chance this case could be reopened at some point. Jmo the only defendant to ever be tried got away with murder.

Thank god this happened in Australia. If this had happened in my country, the stupid double jeopardy laws would’ve protected him.

I considered starting a thread about this, and someone probably will if it blows up (which some people are predicting it might) but over the weekend, a 21-year-old man named Jakarta Jackson, who already had a lengthy criminal record, tried to flee from police in Rock Island, Illinois, and was fatally shot by one of the officers on the scene.

There was already a protest at the courthouse TODAY. THAT is what burned MY butt - that people were making all kinds of assumptions without knowing ANY of the facts.

His criminal record:

Your link won't open for me. Are you able to list some of his priors? Thanks.
BTW, I think this probably will blow up.

Disappearance of Paula del Mundo.Not heard anything for years it's as if the police have given up

I just read through Paula's case. How sad. What do you believe happened? I think it sounds like a medical episode and she wandered outside disoriented. I don't think it's likely she was being followed but something happened to her outside (misadventure, etc.). We see so many cases like that. I can't tell if LE did a thorough enough search out there or if they dropped the ball there.
 
This case is beyond cold, it has been icily forgotten. I think I am the only one that thinks about it, except for the murdered couple’s picture as the 5 clubs on a “murdered” deck of cards. There was so much there to investigate, yet….. It is almost as though they never existed and no one cared . With all the new technology and some much blood/bodily fluid evidence one would think more could be done now. It just makes me sad that I never knew them, but I may be one of the only persons who thinks about what happened to them. Diana looked like Marcia Brady with brown hair. They weren’t famous nor born in the age of 24/7 news, but will no one try once more to bring them some resolution?

Hello. I couldn't make the PDF link work either. The couple featured on the Kansas deck 5 of clubs are James and Diana McAtee of Ohio.

James Lee McAtee and his wife Diana M. McAtee were found stabbed to death October 13, 1977 in Grandview Plaza, Geary county, Kansas. He was being medically discharged from the US Army for permanent damage to the ligaments in his arm. It is believed they were murdered for his discharge pay.
James was born 29, June 1958, Diana was born 6 June 1959. They have memorials at findagrave.com.

An effort is being made to test any remaining evidence using new technology.
That is all I could find using this phone. Hope you have better luck.

I don't know about AU, but here in Canada the Crown can appeal an acquittal, if there are some grounds of course.

The Casey Anthony case will always haunt me--- I see her sweet innocent face ---and cannot get over that her mother got away with murdering this child. It is just so unfair.

The case that presently burns my butt though is the failure of the police to solve the murder of Liz Barraza-- I just get the feeling that the police are nowhere near solving this case. I don't know if it is incompetence or what. There seem to be enough clues that I would think there would be progress in this case. The vehicle is such a key clue--
The nature of the murder ( blitz attack), and the viciousness of the fatal attack are heart breaking and angering.

Casey Anthony is another case where the parents contributed to the tragedy....those cases all burn my butt. Either they contribute to their child's demise or their child's criminality, or they passively sit and do nothing, or bring dangerous people into the home, etc.
It's always infuriating beyond belief when a child's death never receives any justice, like Caylee.
There was a case in my hometown a while back...little girl beaten to death by her idiot mother's psycho boyfriend, and then dumped in the woods. Ultimately, the boyfriend was acquitted and the Crown appealed the acquittal because he was the one who beat her to death. But they decided it would be unfair as the man was mentally deficient and so it was dropped. The mother testified that she never wanted the child and that she was so much trouble, she deserved to die. The mother got 2 years for Complicity after the fact.
You don't want a kid? Give her up for adoption, have an abortion, whatever. Her boyfriend was more important. There was no justice for that poor kid, it still infuriates me.

Absolutely horrible and infuriating and sadly there are too many cases like this one.
