    A criminal defence lawyer says the Polkinghorne trial is an example of the criminal justice system working


    A jury has found eye surgeon Philip Polkinghorne NOT guilty of the murder or manslaughter of his wife Pauline Hanna, at their Remuera home in April 2021.

    The verdict - at the High Court in Auckland yesterday - followed 10 hours of deliberations, over two days.

    Criminal defence lawyer Elizabeth Hall says we've seen justice working play out.

    She says both the Crown and defence have worked very hard, the verdict is what it is and New Zealanders need to see that it's justice working.
