New Zealand’s Supreme Court on Friday took the unusual step of overturning a man’s convictions even though he died three years ago. The court found there had been a substantial miscarriage of justice after Peter Ellis was convicted of sexually abusing children at the daycare center where he worked as a teacher more than 30 years ago. Usually appeals end once a complainant dies.
But in this case, the court found it was in the interests of justice for the appeal to continue even after Ellis died from cancer in 2019 at age 61. When Ellis was first put on trial in 1993, it was against a global backdrop of concern about satanic ritual abuse. The case against him relied on the recollections of very young children, and many questioned its merits from the outset.
Some believed the fact he was openly gay worked against him.

(TVNZ via AP) Ellis was convicted in 1993 on 16 counts of sexual abuse against seven children who attended the Christchurch daycare center.
He spent seven years in prison and always maintained his innocence. The Supreme Court found the evidence of prosecution witness Karen Zelas, a psychiatrist who supervised the interviews of the children, lacked balance and suffered from circular reasoning. The court found Zelas failed to inform the jury of other possible explanations for behaviors among the children that ranged from bedwetting and sleeping problems to sexualized behavior.
