The mother of a Central Coast woman who vanished in 2012 is calling for laws to be amended to allow a verdict for the man who stood trial for her murder — but died — to be released.
Leisl Smith's mother Sandi Harvey said she was "stuck" not knowing what a three-month, judge-alone trial determined in relation to her alleged killer, Inverell man James Scott Church, who died by suicide before a verdict could be delivered.
