Holy CRAP, retesting of 1000's of cases!! Hedley Thomas and Dr. Kirsty Wright are true heroes, they have done what is nearly impossible, brought about systemic change within the Australian justice system. I am in awe of their dedication and strength, which has allowed a space for justice for those unfairly sentenced by the previous lab's faulty, and criminal, methods. Once again, Hedley Thomas has given a family hope that has been without it for so long. Bless you and your team Mr. Thomas 🙏❤️
