Mark Lundy to remain in prison

[Lilith7]

This really is a catch 22 situation; unless he confesses they won't release him & he says he can't confess to something he didn't do. You have to wonder how many people are caught in this situation.

"Lundy's family declined to comment to Newshub, but a group in support of him, the Factual Team, said they are "extremely disappointed" by the decision.

"For 23 years since tragically losing his family, Mark has vehemently maintained his innocence and suffered the injustice and indignity of false incarceration. Yet Mark has stoically served over 20 years detention with the strength and dignity he was known for in the years prior to his wrongful conviction/s," a spokesperson said.

"Justice Young admitted that denial of guilt is not a requirement for parole approval. 

Sir Ron says the parole board can’t compile any conditions to protect Lundy and the public, when he won’t admit to the crime, which would help them understand the triggers behind the murders.

"It’s difficult to answer because I cannot tell you the motive for something I didn't do." Lundy responded

The spokesperson said the Factual group were hopeful that police would "properly reopen the case and seriously look for the true offender that is still at large".





"Instead, the police have stuck to their guns, re-imagining a second possibility, and presenting even more flawed circumstantial guesses with no actual facts."
