Ellis battle not over
NZPA

A renewed call for convicted child abuser Peter Ellis to be pardoned will be put to Governor-General Sir Michael Hardie Boys on Monday, after the Court of Appeal yesterday dismissed Ellis' second appeal. Ellis, now 41, spoken to by his counsel, Judith Ablett-Kerr, after the decision was given in Wellington, was reportedly "furious". After the decision, Mrs Ablett-Kerr said that she would renew her appeal to Sir Michael, as well as continue to battle for a royal commission of inquiry into the case.
