Compensation 'in the mix' after mum has conviction for baby killing quashedMATT STEWART/STUFF Terri Friesen's supporters - friend and law student Kelly Phillips and private investigator Tim McKinnel - talk about her long wait for justice. Almost 30 years after falsely confessing to the manslaughter of her baby, Terri Friesen has had her conviction quashed – and could yet launch a bid for compensation. KEVIN STENT/STUFF Taranaki mum Terri Friesen leaves the Court of Appeal in Wellington on Wednesday afternoon after having her manslaughter conviction quashed in the Court of Appeal. Also outside court was former police detective turned private investigator Tim McKinnel, who was an instigator in Teina Pora's freedom campaign. LAWRENCE SMITH/STUFF "I think Terri's got a strong case for compensation given what she's been through over the past three decades," private investigator Tim McKinnel says.
