Anyone know when we are likely to hear about the result of this trial?
If the appeal is won is that the end of it?

2 excellent questions.Anyone know when we are likely to hear about the result of this trial?

Dawson won't be walking in any case as he has the sentence he received for carnal knowledge, in a separate case, to serve.I was wondering the same thing. If he wins this appeal, is that it, he's free. ?
Or is it an appeal for a new trial.
Thanks @Cliff Hardy, I'll have a listen too.
A pity Lyn doesn't get a second chance to be alive and free.
Oh yes that's right.Dawson won't be walking in any case as he has the sentence he received for carnal knowledge, in a separate case, to serve.
Buckley's and Nunn.,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?
Appeal team argue Chris Dawson's wife had 'high level of despair' leading up to disappearance and chose to leave
Former Sydney teacher Chris Dawson has launched an appeal against his murder conviction with his legal team arguing his first wife was in despair and chose to leave the family home.www.abc.net.au
Dawson has come up with a whole new story, now.. Now, .. 40 years later, the 'running off to a religious cult' story has faded away, all the other stories, Lynn working at a hospital, lynn at a fruit market, Lynn at a bus stop,, etc. ...all this is now water under the bridge and lo and behold, this story is now , apparently, the operative one....

During the judge-alone trial, Dawson's legal team said Ms Simms may have chosen to leave her family, having had her trust terribly broken because of Dawson's behaviour with the babysitter, who moved into their marital home.
Ms Rigg told the NSW Court of Criminal Appeal Ms Simms experienced a "high level of despair" in the six months leading up to her disappearance and was well aware of Dawson's capacity to care for their children
"There was significant evidence of Ms [Simms'] despair and loss of hope and self-esteem over the months in the second half of 1981, as she confided in a number of people in terms of what was happening," she said.
( whodathunk it??... Dawson's capacity to care for their children!!!!... an astonishing claim ) ...
One of the appeal judges, Justice Christine Adamson, said: "Nonetheless the applicant [Dawson], from his point of view, wanted to keep the children, wanted to keep the house and wanted to keep JC and one way of doing that would be to murder his wife."
Ms Rigg said only two weeks before Ms Simms vanished, Dawson had shown a preparedness to leave the children and the house — and had demonstrated he was not particularly concerned about financial consequences.
Today his legal rep was heavy on that old yarn, the worn out furphy of the 'long distance phone call ' at the swimming pool that Saturday morning... same old stuff, nothing new. Something that cannot be proven or disproven, so Dawson has glommed onto it. It might float, it probably won't. His life has been one long drawn out disaster, decade after decade, and it's reaching it's fitting end, staring out between the bars from Silverwater Prison.One small problem with this theory is that there is no evidence that Lynn left her family to start a life somewhere else. The judge already addressed this in him judgement.
Ms Rigg, should be writing stories for Hollywood or even Bollywood she's so funny.Appeal team argue Chris Dawson's wife had 'high level of despair' leading up to disappearance and chose to leave

So far, and this does not mean that things cannot change , but nothing new has been bought up by Dawson's rep,, The same old stuff, except for the not startling news that Lynn was in despair over the situation at home. Odd that he waited 40 years to mention that unhappy ambience . All this time , he has stuck to the story that she just went shopping. Nothing about shopping in deep despair. Just being dropped off at the bus stop.No chance convicted killer Dawson innocent, court told
If his appeal succeeds, the court could either acquit him of murder or order a retrial.
It's like la la land. If , and it is reasonable to do so, but say, IF, one accepts the verdict of a fully legally instigated court, with a fully legally qualified judge that Dawson murdered Lynn Simms, it is rational to follow on with all his other crimes that both preceded and followed Lynn';s murder, none of which , in any world add up to 'good character'.
‘Non-aggressive nature’: Chris Dawson makes ‘good character’ claim in bid for freedom
I'm just the messenger
It is almost perrrrrfectly circular *dream eyed *.. In any other context it would be too fanciful to be true, but here we are. He would have been about $2 mill better off, and his superannuation still intact, if he'd served his time way back in the 80's.. Men could murder their wives with a certain amount of complimentary sentences being dished out .One of the sad ironies is, after murdering Lyn, Chris Dawson took off with all the assets and then what remained of them he frittered away defending himself for her murder. End result, there is nothing left and he is now defending himself using legal aid.
