Mark Lundy is going to be released from prison after 23 years behind bars.
I could never make up my mind about Lundy. During the trial he seemed to be guilty as sin. The evidence was damming. But Steve Braunias' various interviews with the man over subsequent years have added a big question mark. I trust Braunias' judgement.

Braunias wrote a preview of Lundy's parole on Thursday. While it's a decent summary of what led to this point, for me it's notable that this is Steve Braunias' last column for the Herald after ten years.
I've read some of Steve's books & seen him speak a few times. Nobody in NZ reports trials quite like him. He weaves observation with fact & tells compelling stories. I hope we see more of his work in other media.
