Sir Geoffrey Palmer answers questions regarding the New Zealand criminal justice system: The fairness of taking someone to trial three times (references to the David Barlow case); Should New Zealand look to the Scottish system of ‘Not Proven’? New Zealand criminal law is based on an ‘adverserial system’ - the onus is on the Crown to prove that this accused person carried out a criminal offence. There is no burden of proof on the accused - the accused is presumed innocent until proven guilty. Contrasts with the European ‘Inquisitorial’ system are explored and compared.
