After the miscarriage of justice in the case of Andrew Malkinson, the Criminal Cases Review Commission (CCRC) needs a reset, Jon Robins, NLJ columnist, writes in this week’s issue
Malkinson spent two decades in prison for a crime he did not commit, during which he consistently maintained his innocence. Robins writes: ‘It has since come to light that the CCRC was aware of the DNA evidence that would ultimately exonerate him at the time of his first application in 2009.’
Robins covers the Malkinson case and that of Oliver Campbell, who has spent 32 years trying to clear his name. He considers where the CCRC is going wrong.
