Cheryl Grimmer's family 'deeply angry' as decision to drop case upheld
Cheryl Grimmer's family says more than 50 detailed submissions have been met with an extraordinarily brief determination after the DPP upheld the decision to abandon the case.
Cheryl Grimmer's family is expressing deep anger and disappointment following the NSW Director of Public Prosecutions' (DPP) decision to uphold the abandonment of the case surrounding her 1970 disappearance. The DPP's review of the case, which examined over 50 detailed submissions from the family, concluded that there were not reasonable prospects of succeeding in challenging the trial judge's decision to exclude Mercury's recorded interview with the teenager at the time of his alleged involvement in Cheryl's disappearance.
Cheryl's brother, Ricki Nash, has strongly criticized the decision, stating that the family's extensive evidence and legal arguments were not adequately addressed in the DPP's brief determination.
