Delay for Lindy
NZPA-AAP Darwin The Northern Territory Supreme Court yesterday delayed its decision on whether to quash the convictions of Lindy and Michael Chamberlain until noon (New Zealand time) today. The delay would allow the Court to consider submissions by Crown counsel, Mr Michael Adams, in reply to submissions already made by counsel for the Chamberlains. The Northern Territory Chief Justice, Mr Justice Asche, Mr Justice Kearney and Mr Justice
Nader were to have handed down their decision yesterday on an application for the Court of Criminal Appeal to quash the Chamberlains’ convictions over the disappearance of their daughter, Azaria, on August 17, 1980. During a 15-minute sitting in a packed courtroom in Darwin’s Supreme Court, Mr Justice Asche said the delay was to allow time for him and the other judges to read a 50-page submission by counsel representing the Northern Territory Attorney-General, Mr Michael Adams, Q.C.
