Christie Marceau was murdered on 7 November 2011. The man who murdered her had been in court on an earlier date, accused of kidnapping and assaulting Christie.
Despite strong police and Family opposition, The Judge gave him bail! The Judge then let him live close to Christie's home! Four weeks after the accused was given bail, he entered Christie's home and stabbed her. Christie died in her mother's arms. Many murders have been committed by offenders who have been given bail by NZ judges! The Sensible Sentencing Trust is demanding action to stop this.
We launched Christie's Law, at the Auckland Court, on 27 February, to demand Bail Laws be changed and that judges get a very clear message to prevent more deaths.
