A key witness described seeing a tall Māori man fleeing the scene, but Alan, a 5’7” Pākehā, doesn’t fit that description. The critical omission — the witness’s claim about ethnicity — never reached the jury. Now two former police officers face trial for allegedly hiding this vital detail. One claims he merely handed documents to the Crown, while the prosecutor argues an experienced officer should’ve seen the racial discrepancy as a potential game-changer. The trial, set to conclude next week, could reshape how justice was served — and whether truth was ever truly served in Alan Hall’s case.
