This is my piece on the Birmingham 4 Case, which bears an eery resemblance to the Birmingham Six. Thanks loads to Jon Robins for his help – Jon wrote a great piece on them for his fantastic The Justice Gap @justicegap.bsky.social website theguardian.com/law/ng-interac…

APPEAL Co-Director Matt Foot spoke yesterday at QMUL School of Law’s conference celebrating the book ‘Understanding Miscarriages of Justice’. Matt presented on how to fix the present crisis in the appeal system

Tonight I was part of an excellent panel by JUSTICE and APPEAL @we-are-appeal.bsky.social, on the need to urgently reform the miscarriage of justice compensation scheme. We heard powerful testimony from victims of miscarriages of justice on how they have been tragically failed by the system.

Last night, APPEAL and @JusticeHQ launched the #PayUp4TimeSpent campaign in Parliament. We’re demanding compensation for those wrongly convicted — because time stolen must be paid for. Support the fight for justice: appeal.org.uk/act-now/compen… #WrongfulConvictions #JusticeMatters

Grateful to David Davis MP for raising the injustice of denying compensation to the wrongly convicted at today’s #PMQs. Now it’s over to Keir Starmer — let’s hope he stands by his word and takes a serious look at this issue. #PayUp4TimeSpent #JusticeMatters
