Allegations
of Sexual Abuse |
|
A Horowhenua teacher
charged with the indecent assault of four former students has been found not
guilty on all four charges. A jury at the
Palmerston North District Court has just returned with its verdict. Supporters of Michael
Neville erupted into cheers in the courtroom when the verdict was delivered. The jury began
considering its verdict yesterday. It saw a re-run this
morning of video evidence of one of the complainants and heard the transcript
of the girl's cross examination as well. The girl's account was
central to the Crown's case. |
