NSW: Iemma disappointed at Hall's release
NSW Premier MORRIS IEMMA says the government is considering another appeal .. after
a court ruled transsexual MADDISON HALL should be released from jail.
Mr IEMMA says he's disappointed with the outcome .. and the government's lawyers are
going through the judgement .. to determine if there's grounds for appeal.
His comments come after the NSW Supreme Court ruled the State Parole Authority made
no legal error .. in granting HALL an early release from prison.
The prisoner .. then known as NOEL CROMPTON HALL .. was originally sentenced to life
in jail .. for the 1987 murder of male hitchhiker LYN SAUNDERS.
But HALL .. who had gender reassignment surgery in 2003 .. later had the sentence reduced
to a minimum of 16-and-a-half years .. and was granted parole last month.
