Ivan Michael Antunovic is a New Zealand criminal defence lawyer.
[2] Along with Greg King, Antunovic was co-defence counsel[3] for Scott Watson, who was charged with the double murder of Ben Smart and Olivia Hope.
On appeal, Antunovic and King failed to convince the Privy Council to overturn the conviction.
[citation needed] In 2007, 22-year-old Janet Moses died after members of her family poured water into her eyes and down her throat at a Wainuiomata flat.
Antunovic, acting for the defense, argued (unsuccessfully) that instead of trying to commit a criminal offence, the defendants were in reality trying to help Moses.
