A report into the actions or inactions of crown prosecutors that led to the 1985 wrongful conviction of Alan Hall has been referred to police by the Solicitor General. The Supreme Court overturned the conviction in June after Hall spent nearly two decades in jail for the murder of Arthur Easton. The report by Nicolette Levy KC had not been released but had been seen by the the Hall family. In a statement, the family said it was gruelling to see some details regarding what was alleged to have occured, but they were comforted that the truth was finally starting to emerge.
