When Charlene is found unconscious one morning, gasping for breath, with a high fever and lying in a pool of diarrhoea, her family rush her to the Christchurch 24-hour clinic. She is treated for overwhelming sepsis and transferred to hospital. Sadly her life cannot be saved and at 1.00am she dies. During the course of Charlene's short illness the diagnosis shifts from infection to sexual assault and homicide, and her grieving family find themselves publicly engulfed in a criminal investigation. What unfolds next is a surreal set of events so improbable that they seem fictitious. Murder that Wasn't meticulously explores the facts surrounding this case, based on scientific, medical and court records and individual interviews, to tell this family's extraordinary story. 606 $aEvidence, Criminal$zNew Zealand 606 $aJudicial error$zNew Zealand 615 0$aEvidence, Criminal 615 0$aJudicial error 676 $a364.1523099383 700 $aGwaze$b George$01526503 702 $aGoodyear-Smith$b Felicity 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910798779103321 996 $aMurder that wasn't$93768575 997 $aUNINA
