It’s not just Helen Pitcher that needs to go. There’s a rot at the CCRC, and it goes deep. “Karen Kneller was director of casework when the miscarriages of justice body did “very poor” work on Malkinson’s first application”👇

All of our support goes out to Sandra Hemme who endured the longest wrongful imprisonment of any woman in U.S. history. Congratulations to Sandra and the fine people at the Innocence Project who helped to make this happen. 🖤

Meanwhile, the calls for fresh leadership at the Criminal Cases Review Commission (CCRC) only get louder. Will Chair Helen Pitcher continue to dig her heels in, despite clear messages from not only Justice Secretary Shabana Mahmood MP but now also Sir Edward Garnier and Charlie Falconer ?

“Why haven’t the government changed this? Search me!” Lord Falconer, former Labour justice secretary, tells Mishal Husain why the new government shouldn’t deduct ‘bed and board’ costs from the compensation of wrongfully convicted prisoners. #R4Today

It’s quite simple. These are a small number of people that have suffered a huge injustice. The government must repay them the compensation that was deducted and move on.

“As a society, we value the lives of some people more than others.” The Grenfell Inquiry final report shows how “working class” and “racialized communities” are not listened to by authorities, Deborah Coles, executive director of human rights charity Inquest, says.

This is an extreme example due to the length of the trial but the prohibitive cost of obtaining transcipts from criminal trials is a national scandal. APPEAL have been campaigning on this for years. The MOJ signed a terrible deal with a private transcription Co.

We wholeheartedly support this private members bill on the brutal and inhumane IPP sentences. Read more here appeal.org.uk/appeal-joins-c…
