Jarryd Hayne's Rape Convictions Overturned in Appeal

Australian court quashes former NRL star's convictions, orders potential fourth trial pending prosecution decision.

  • Hayne's convictions were quashed due to trial judge errors in limiting cross-examination of the complainant.
  • The 36-year-old has already faced three trials over the same allegations, with previous convictions overturned on appeal.
  • Hayne has spent nearly two years in jail amid the ongoing legal battles.
  • The complainant has repeatedly testified and faced extensive cross-examination in each trial.
  • Prosecutors will decide in July whether to pursue a fourth trial.
