Episode four: Suppression, sentencing and survival

The Wallace case raised significant questions about the New Zealand justice system. They included the application of name suppression laws, whether sexual assault victims need more support to survive a bruising legal process and the value of character references at sentencing. Letters from more than 80 people helped Wallace get a reduced sentence - but some now regret their support.
