The barrister for the man accused of murdering campers Russell Hill and Carol Clay has told a Supreme Court jury the prosecution case had “gone off the rails”.

The legal team for accused double murderer Gregory Lynn says the Crown has embarked on a flawed prosecution of the former airline pilot, and repeatedly broke court rules to pursue its case against an innocent man.

An animated Dann spent much of his closing address to the jury dissecting the evidence against his client and the prosecution case that has been presented to the court over the past five weeks.Dann labelled the prosecution case a series of desperate and ill-fated tactical manoeuvres that at times broke the rules of fairness when his client had been truthful to police.

“You might’ve thought that was the centrepoint of the final address. But it’s a matter of absolute insignificance,” Dann told the court.“The prosecution are clinging to the flimsy rope as if it’s their lifeline.”last week, prosecutor Daniel Porceddu failed to question the accused man on his version of events regarding the knife that Lynn says killed Hill.
