Why infamous killer’s desperate bid for freedom failed​

Paraphrased

Newson appealed his conviction and sentence on several grounds, including that the jury ought to have been allowed to consider an alternative verdict of the lesser charge of manslaughter.

The Court Of Criminal Appeal dismissed Newson's appeal against both his conviction and sentence.

Newson was sentenced to 27 years in jail with a non-parole period of 19 years and nine months.

He will first be eligible for release on parole in August 2038.

Cunneen was later jailed for a maximum of seven-and-a-half years, with a non-parole period of four years and was not eligible for parole until 2026.
But last month the Court of Criminal Appeal upheld an appeal against Cunneen's conviction, quashing the guilty verdict and ordering he face a new trial.
The reasons for the CCA's decision have not yet been made public.
Cunneen was released on conditional bail a week later and on Monday appeared in Sydney's Downing Centre District Court via AVL from his solicitor's office where he was again arraigned on a charge of being an accessory after the fact to Ms McBride's murder.

The trial was set down for Sydney in March, 2025 and is expected to run for three months.
