Greg Lynn Files Bail Bid After Murder Conviction Is Quashed on Appeal

The application follows a ruling that his first trial was unfair due to prosecutorial breaches identified by three appeal judges.

Overview

  • Lynn has lodged a written application with the Victorian Supreme Court seeking release on bail, with a hearing pending.
  • The Court of Appeal set aside his 2024 conviction and 32-year sentence after finding a serious miscarriage of justice.
  • Appeal judges ordered a new trial on the charge concerning Carol Clay, according to reporting of the decision.
  • Lynn was acquitted in 2024 of any criminal responsibility for Russell Hill’s death and will not be retried over that allegation.
  • The former Jetstar pilot maintains both deaths in the Wonnangatta Valley in March 2020 were accidental.
