Alan Hall was yesterday absolved for the 1985 killing of 52-year-old Arthur Easton, during a violent invasion of Mr Easton's Papakura home.
Mr Hall spent 19-years in prison and 17-years on strict parole.
Police have launched an internal inquiry, and the Solicitor-General's hired an independent lawyer to look into all Crown Lawyers involved.
Marie Dyhrberg QC says perverting justice is a wide-ranging crime.
She says it includes interfering with witnesses or evidence, planting evidence - all to ensure the trial is absolutely twisted.
