The Point: 25 years behind bars - but is Kevin Henry innocent?

Published
Some are calling it Australia's version of the 'Hurricane Carter' case... A woman's body is found on a river bank - and a young Aboriginal man is convicted of her murder. For 25 years, he has been behind bars. And for 25 years, he has maintained his innocence. Now, a new investigation is re-examining the evidence, and asking the question: did police get it wrong? NITV journalist Ella Archibald-Binge has the story for ‘The Point’ – and NITV presenter Natalie Ahmat talks to Martin Hodgson, who is a senior advocate for Kevin Henry - and along with Amy McQuire has spent the last year investigating his case. And a warning, some viewers may find this report distressing.
