Bantleman family hopes for judicial review of conviction

School teacher Neil Bantleman has turned himself in to Indonesian custody after the country’s supreme court overturned his acquittal on charges that he and an Indonesian teacher allegedly abused three children. His wife has told the CBC their  family’s hope now hangs on a judicial review of the trial which is said to have seen much doubtful evidence. Bantleman, from Burlington, and Ferdinant Tjiong, had been sentenced to 10 years in prison last April. Both appealed to the country’s High Court which acquitted them in August. Those acquittals were overturned on Wednesday.
