HENARE v NEW ZEALAND POLICE [2018] NZHC 65

- High Court
The appeal was dismissed because the alibi was incomplete with unexplained time during the relevant period and the DNA evidence (a single male profile on a cigarette butt found lit inside the burgled garage) provided strong evidence of the appellant's presence with no plausible innocent explanation; therefore the trial judge did not err to an extent causing a miscarriage of justice.
