Tony Bouchier: criminal defence lawyer on the Supreme Court overturning guilty verdicts in Red Fox cold case
from Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive · host Newstalk ZB
A criminal defence lawyer has highlighted the challenges around convicting people in historic cases. Lawyer Tony Bouchier's comments come after the Supreme Court overturned two guilty murder verdicts in a cold case killing. James Henry Wilson and Mark Joseph Hoggart were found guilty in 2021 of killing Red Fox Tavern publican, Chris Bush. Bouchier's says the evidence wasn't strong enough, especially around a potential third, deceased, suspect. "The defence - it's sometimes a dream when you get to that third person, and if you look at the Supreme Court decision, they couldn't discount the fact that he wasn't there."
