Supreme Court quashes Peter Ellis' child abuse convictions
The Supreme Court has quashed the convictions of Peter Ellis, the Christchurch creche worker who was convicted of child sex offences in 1993, finding a significant miscarriage of justice. Today's verdict marks the end of a 30-year battle by Ellis to clear his name, a decision that came three years after his death. But the parents of children of Christchurch Civic Creche say they're shocked and saddened by the decision. Jamie Tahana reports.
