Lily Ridgeway's Manslaughter Trial: Not Guilty Verdict Follows Overturned Conviction
Lily Ridgeway was recently found not guilty of unlawful killing at Raymond Terrace after a third trial. This verdict follows a complex legal journey that included a prior conviction being overturned.
Overturned Conviction and Subsequent Appeal
After serving more than three years in jail, Ridgeway appealed her conviction and the severity of her sentence to the Court of Criminal Appeal. In May 2024, her conviction was successfully quashed.
The Third Trial
The trial concluding last week, focused on one count of manslaughter, marked the third time Lily Ridgeway's case had been presented in court. The recent verdict of not guilty brings a significant development to this long-standing legal matter.
