Lynn's Murder Conviction Overturned, New Trial Ordered
Update: 2025-12-11
Description
Greg Lynn, a former pilot, had his murder conviction overturned this week due to serious irregularities in his initial trial. The appeals court ruled that Lynn experienced a substantial miscarriage of justice, leading to a new trial. Lynn was accused of killing Carol Clay, one of two campers who disappeared in 2020, but maintained their deaths were accidental. The prosecution argued Lynn killed Clay to cover up Russell Hills death, which they believed happened first. The appeals judges found the prosecutions conduct compromised the fairness of the trial, including challenging Lynns credibility without direct questioning and unfairly attacking their own firearms expert. Lynn, who had been remanded in custody, is scheduled to appear in the Supreme Court for a directions hearing on January twenty-eighth, where his lawyers may seek his release on bail before the new trial commences.
