According to his lawyer, former Jetstar pilot Greg Lynn is planning to appeal his conviction for the murder of camper Carol Clay. This comes after the 57-year-old was found guilty of the crime in June of last year. However, he was acquitted of the murder of Clay's secret lover, Russell Hill.
Lynn's barrister, Dermot Dann, has stated that his client is unhappy with the verdict and has a number of concerns about the fairness of the trial. "We believe that the guilty verdict is highly questionable and should not be taken as fact," Dann expressed in court. He also claimed that the prosecution had not conducted the trial in a just manner.
Furthermore, Dann asserted that Lynn maintains his innocence and has never told a single lie. While a formal application to appeal has not yet been submitted to the court, Dann has made it clear that it is in the works.
The disappearance of Clay and Hill, aged 73 and 74 respectively, from Victoria's alpine region in March 2020, sparked a nationwide search. Lynn had pleaded not guilty to the charges, stating that the deaths were accidental. However, he did admit to burning the crime scene and disposing of their bodies.
If the appeal is unsuccessful, Lynn faces a maximum sentence of life in prison. This news has caused shock and disbelief among those who know him, as he was once a respected pilot for Jetstar. Many are eager to hear the outcome of the appeal and hope for a fair resolution for all parties involved.
