Australian public servant wrongly jailed and freed in 2014

#20

David Harold Eastman (born 29 September 1945) is a former public servant from Canberra, Australia.
In 1995 he was wrongfully convicted of the murder of Australian Federal Police Assistant Commissioner Colin Winchester and was sentenced to life imprisonment without parole.
A 2014 judicial inquiry recommended the sentence be quashed and he should be pardoned.
On 22 August of the same year, the Supreme Court of the Australian Capital Territory quashed the conviction, released Eastman from prison, and ordered a retrial.
Eastman sought leave to the High Court to appeal against the decision for a retrial.
His appeal was unsuccessful, and a retrial commenced on 18 June 2018.
On 22 November 2018, the jury in the retrial found Eastman not guilty of murder.
Eastman, who had served 19 years in custody, was awarded A$7 million in compensation in October 2019.
