He has always professed his innocence and showed no emotion when he was found guilty and then sentenced to a maximum of 40 years in jail. And now aged care double murderer Garry Steven Davis has launched an appeal against his convictions, labeling the guilty verdicts “unreasonable and not supported by the evidence” and claiming Supreme Court Justice Robert Allan Hulme erred when accepting that a single perpetrator injected three elderly, non-diabetic SummitCare Wallsend residents with insulin over two days in October, 2013. Davis, 30, was jailed for a maximum of 40 years with a non-parole of 30 years in December last year after he was found guilty of the murder of Gwen Fowler, 83, and Ryan Kelly, 80, and the attempted murder of Audrey Manuel, 91, after a four-week judge-alone trial in the Newcastle Supreme Court. His legal team, led by solicitor Mark Ramsland, have lodged a notice of intention to appeal the conviction to the Court of Criminal Appeal, obtained Legal Aid NSW funding and enlisted the service of barrister Graham Turnbull, SC.
