A criminal lawyer says using new evidence against Peter Ellis after he's dead could be unfair

Lawyers for the convicted sex offender were granted leave in September to continue his legal battle to clear his name, a year after his death.
However, the case has been complicated by a new complainant coming forward.
Criminal lawyer Steve Bonnar QC says Ellis and his team were never made aware of it before he died.
He says Ellis was never given any chance to talk to his team about it, which is rather unfair.
