Is there truly a call over on 11 April? I couldn’t find anything when I looked.

It's not showing there anymore. It was on the weekend. Maybe they confirmed with the court all was okay and the callover was unneccesary. I really don't know how it works.

The court lists in NSW only go to 3 weeks in advance, so it will be a couple of weeks until we see 13th showing.

This is crazy, crazy left field I know but what are the chances of Chris Dawson fessing up at his upcoming appeal hearing on the whereabouts of Lyn's body?

We wish for this, but the chances are ever so slim. He's mean enough to take the secret to his grave. He doesn't care for anyone but himself.

NSW 'no body, no parole' laws dubbed 'Lyn's Law' in honour of Lyn Dawson

The New South Wales justice system will now refer to 'nobody, no parole' laws as Lyn's Law, after Lyn Dawson's family fought for decades to honour the slain mother with meaningful reform.

Former rugby league star Chris Dawson will return to a Sydney court on Monday, with a purported phone call from his wife Lynette on the day of her disappearance to play a central role in his bid to be freed from prison.

Central to Dawson’s appeal - which will be heard over three days in the Court of Criminal Appeal starting Monday morning - is his claim that he suffered a “significant forensic disadvantage”, owing to the nearly 40 years between his wife’s disappearance and the matter going to trial.

Wife-killer Dawson in bid for freedom

Chris Dawson will return to a Sydney courtroom on Monday in a bid to avoid dying in jail after being convicted of murdering his wife Lynette and disposing of her body.

au.news.yahoo.com

Former rugby league star Chris Dawson will return to a Sydney court on Monday, with a purported phone call from his wife Lynette on the day of her disappearance to play a central role in his bid to be freed from prison.

Dawson, 75, has maintained his innocence and has launched an appeal against his conviction, claiming it cannot be proven that Lynette Simms was not alive after Friday, January 8, 1982.

Just realised what I am thinking is not printable

 

[Cliff Hardy]

Wonder if the creep is likely to say anything himself during the next 3 days? Unlikely, I guess?

If he had confessed to her murder 40 years ago he would have been out of jail ages ago.

I feel like there is also a forensic advantage given the passing of 40 years!

Exactly! The onus of proof being on the prosecution. Not the defence, who only have to cast doubt.

Sounds like Chris Dawson's legal mouthpiece Belinda Rigg is just regurgitating the same old stuff in court today.

Dawson himself is watching the hearing via video link from his 'home', Clarence Correctional Centre, near Grafton.
