Three men charged in relation to one of New Zealand's most high-profile miscarriages of justice have been excused from their first court appearance on medical grounds. The wrongful conviction of Alan Hall back in 1985 led to the biggest compensation payout in New Zealand's history, and now, nearly 40 years later, three men are facing charges.
