(File photo) The jury at the High Court in Wellington was told on Tuesday that the trial could not proceed because medical evidence was recently updated and needed further consideration that could not be done in the course of the current trial. Wallace was remanded to appear in court again in July, Justice Jill Mallon said. Wallace pleaded not guilty to the murder charge, along with 18 charges of threatening to cause grievous bodily harm, three charges of threatening to kill, one of demanding with menaces, and one of assaulting another woman. The jury was told he formally admitted several other assaults, and inflicting injuries that resulted in Wilson being taken to hospital.

But the jury was told he formally admitted inflicting the injuries that resulted in her being taken hospital, and several other assaults. One of Wallace’s lawyers, Jamie Waugh, told the jury that the issue was whether the death was murder or manslaughter. “No-one is saying he’s an innocent man,” Waugh said. Leeann Michelle Wallace, 49, who is Zane Wallace’s mother, pleaded not guilty to one charge of attempting to pervert the course of justice relating to the way Wilson was taken to hospital.
