D-Day for alleged camper killer’s bail bid
- A bail hearing was held on Thursday in the Victorian Supreme Court, with Justice David Beach reserving judgment to March 5.
- Last December, a Court of Appeal panel of three judges set aside Lynn's conviction, finding a substantial miscarriage of justice and ordering a new trial in the Victorian Supreme Court.
- Defence counsel Dermot Dann KC told the court Lynn would live with his son Geordie Lynn, who would provide his 'life savings' as a bail guarantee, emphasising Lynn's vulnerability in custody and pending heart surgery.
- Prosecutors told the court Lynn did not meet the high bar for bail and urged refusal, while court officials signalled a retrial could be ready later this year with mitigation to manage prejudice.
- The defence said they will seek a stay of proceedings because of prejudicial media coverage, with Dermot Dann KC warning `He cannot possibly be thought to have a fair trial in the near future`.
