93 per cent of victims of miscarriages of justice are refused compensation for their wrongful conviction. These are people who have had their lives ruined by the State. They deserve full and proper compensation. thetimes.com/uk/law/article…

‘His mother, father and sister have all died since he was sent down; he is estranged from what remains of his family. He lost touch with teenage friends years ago.’ What does Justin Plummer have left to fight for? Jon Robins👇 buff.ly/NkST4RF

Justin Plummer sleeps on the floor of his cell protesting his innocence of a 1997 murder. His conviction was overturned 4yrs ago - only to be reconvicted after prosecution relied on a 'confession' to a cell mate who happened to be a police informant. Jon Robins for UnHerd

Must-read piece in UnHerd by Jon Robins of The Justice Gap @justicegap.bsky.social - how did a supposed jailhouse confession lead to Justin Plummer being convicted of a savage murder a second time when the forensic evidence that did for him first time round had been discredited? unherd.com/2025/07/the-da…

‘Justin Plummer tells me he has done everything he can to fight a system predicated on offenders coming to terms with their crimes.’ Read Jon Robins on Justin Plummer👇 buff.ly/NkST4RF

Kudos to David Conn and former Cheshire coroner's officer Stephanie Davies for exposing another reason to doubt the safety of Lucy Letby's convictions. Why wasn't she given the full background to Baby O's liver injury when advising the police? theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/j…

FREE AT LAST: After 28 years, Justin Plummer conviction overturned in Court of Appeal today. From day one, he said that he was innocent - had his conviction overturned three years ago, CPS pushed for retrial - today retrial overturned. Absolutely shocking: unherd.com/2025/07/the-da…
