BARRISTER Lloyd Rayney will learn his fate when the Court of Criminal Appeal hands down its decision on the state's appeal against his murder acquittal. The Court of Appeal sat for two days hearing the appeal against Mr Rayney's acquittal on a charge of murdering his wife, Supreme Court registrar Corryn Rayney, in August 2007. She was found buried head-first in a bush grave at Kings Park nine days later, with her car dumped nearby. Mr Rayney, her estranged husband and prominent Perth barrister, was cleared of her murder in November last year following a high-profile three-month trial. Prosecutors appealed the verdict, claiming there were errors of law in the judgment by former Northern Territory chief justice Brian Martin, who concluded Ms Rayney was randomly attacked outside her home.

The state is arguing for a re-trial if the Appeal Court overturns the acquittal. Last November, former Northern Territory judge Justice Brian Martin cleared Mr Rayney of killing his wife, who disappeared after a weekly bootscooting class in Bentley in August, 2007. But prosecutors took the uncommon step of appealing the verdict in August, claiming there were errors of law in the judgment by former Northern Territory chief justice Brian Martin, who concluded Ms Rayney was randomly attacked outside her home. Mrs Rayney's body was found buried head-first in a bush grave at Kings Park nine days after she disappeared, with her car dumped nearby in a Subiaco street. In the appeal hearing, lawyer for the state, David Jackson QC, claimed Justice Martin did not properly consider the evidence as a whole, including a dinner place card with Mr Rayney's name on it that was found near the gravesite, which he considered a ``smoking gun. Phone tapping evidence was also not considered in the context of other evidence, he said. Lawyers for Mr Rayney argued his acquittal was justified and Justice Martin had followed the law ``faithfully.
