Polkinghorne’s Account Under Scrutiny | Auckland News
Description
The inquest into Pauline Hanna’s 2021 death is heating up as police counsel Alysha McClintock challenges Philip Polkinghorne’s account of that fateful morning, zeroing in on a suspicious 10-second gap during his 111 call where he claims to have taken certain actions—actions she says are physically impossible. Polkinghorne pushed back with sarcasm, prompting the coroner to intervene, and admitted his story has evolved since initial interviews, blaming shock for inconsistencies. The core question remains: did his actions match his testimony—and what really happened during that critical, unexplained moment?
