The jury in the trial of the alleged Lin family murderer has been discharged following the emergence of "new material" which may "change the shape and content" of the case.
Lian Bin "Robert" Xie, 50, is accused of creeping into the North Epping home of his brother-in-law, Min "Norman" Lin, in the early hours of July 18, 2009, and then murdering him and four members of his family.
This included Min Lin's young sons, Terry, 9, and Henry, 12, his wife Lily Lin and his sister-in-law Irene Lin.
Mr Xie has been on trial in the NSW Supreme Court over the murders for the past month.
However on Tuesday Justice Peter Johnson discharged the jury. He said "further material" had been provided to the Crown in late May and given to the defence just over a week ago.
Mr Xie's defence then applied for the jury to be discharged, Justice Johnson said - an application the prosecution did not oppose.
The exact nature of the new material cannot be disclosed. However, Justice Johnson said it "may make a substantial difference to the trial of the accused".
"The appropriate course is to discharge you as a jury," Justice Johnson said.
"I am conscious that the trial has been on for a month and I'm conscious that there may be a sense of frustration among you. But I'm satisfied that the only appropriate course is to discharge you from the jury."
Mr Xie bowed to the jury as they left the courtroom.
现在陪审团已经解散了,因为在5月底突然有新的证据提交给辩护方.是辩护方要求解散陪审团的,而检控方也没有反对.法官说这个新证据'可能对庭审有很深的影响'...不知道是什么证据啊!看来是对谢有利的证据吧.
