Privy Council recommends no retrial for Pora

The Herald reports:

The Privy Council has recommended that Teina Pora not be retried for the rape and murder of Susan Burdett.

The parties in New Zealand were notified this morning.

Crown and defence had filed submissions last week on whether Mr Pora should be tried for a third time of the 1992 crimes.

Parties received a draft order on Monday morning recommending Mr Pora not be retried.

I’d say the chance of a retrial is near zero. Kudos to those who have fought to right this wrong.
