The NSW Supreme Court heard the fresh evidence relates to the former Rockcastle Hospital,where Lynette’s neighbours Peter and Jill Breeseclaim they saw her working as a nurse in June 1984.
On Friday afternoon,prosecutor Craig Everson,SC,handed Justice Ian Harrison a document and said the Crown proposed to call the person identified to give evidence.
The judge noted the evidence “goes to who worked there[at the hospital] and who didn’t”.

Everson said there was another person,in a similar category,whose evidence the Crown will contend “is much stronger” and they were intending to get a statement over the weekend.
The court heard the site at Curl Curl is now South Pacific Private Hospital,a drug rehabilitation facility operating since 1993. The prosecutor said the current hospital did not have staff records from 1984.
Everson said if the judge ruled against allowing the new evidence,he would need to seek instructions from the NSW Director of Public Prosecutions. He said the evidence was a separate issue to the witnesses the judge last week ruled against allowing to testify.
