After spending almost five years behind bars for killing a man in Western Australia, Indigenous man Gene Gibson will walk free after his conviction was overturned last week.
The court called his conviction a miscarriage of justice after the proper interpreting services were not provided during the initial police interviews.
After Mr. Gibson’s case, there have been new calls for support and funding for indigenous language interpreting services across the state.
