A petition's been handed to Parliament calling for an inquiry into Alan Hall's wrongful conviction.
Hall spent 19 years in prison wrongly convicted of murdering Arthur Easton in 1985.
He received $5 million and an apology.
The petition asks for a Royal Commission Inquiry into the conviction and police investigation.
Social Justice Aotearoa CEO Jackie Foster says the conviction was a travesty.
"We believe so many questions have not been answered - and no one has been held accountable for what's happened."
