Greg Lynn jury wants to view video of his testimony.

The jury, composed of twelve individuals, has decided to re-watch Greg Lynn's testimony from the witness stand as they continue to deliberate on his verdict. Lynn, a 57-year-old pilot, had given his account of the events about four weeks into the trial. He has been accused of double murder, pleading not guilty to the deaths of Russell Hill and Carol Clay in the alpine region of Victoria in March 2020.

In his testimony, Lynn claimed that the deaths of Hill and Clay were accidental, but he did admit to the "despicable" act of moving and burning their bodies. He explained to the jury, and also during his interview with the police, that Clay had died during a struggle over Lynn's gun with Hill, resulting in a fatal shot to her head. He also testified that Hill had died in a second struggle involving a knife.

The jurors, who had retired to begin their deliberations on Friday afternoon, returned to the Supreme Court on Wednesday with a question about the video evidence presented during the trial. The presiding judge, Justice Michael Croucher, read their note, which requested access to the recordings of Lynn's testimony and that of another witness, police ballistics expert Senior Constable Paul Griffiths.

After considering the request, Justice Croucher agreed to allow the jurors to view the recorded live stream, which was approximately two-and-a-half hours long for each video. However, he cautioned that it may take some time for the court to edit and provide the videos to the jury. He assured them that the recordings would be made available to them shortly, and they could view them at their own convenience in the jury room.

The judge reminded the jury of his instructions from the previous days, including the presumption of Lynn's innocence and the prosecution's burden to prove his guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. He also reminded them of his directions regarding the final address of the prosecutor, Daniel Porceddu, who had raised some matters that Lynn and Senior Constable Griffiths did not have the opportunity to respond to.

Justice Croucher directed the jurors to give more weight to the evidence presented by Lynn and the police expert, as they were both cross-examined during the trial. He urged them to be cautious of theories presented by the prosecution that were not subjected to cross-examination. With these reminders, the judge sent the jurors back to continue their deliberations on the case.
