Don't miss out on APPEAL's event DOUBT DISMISSED where they'll discuss their findings from their investigation into majority jury verdicts, racism, classism and #wrongfulconviction .

It was an honour to be asked to speak at this event and I left feeling encouraged by how many people gave up their Wednesday evening to hear about conditions in the local prison.

Change is possible. If enough voters care, politicians will care.

I agree with Andrew Malkinson: 'too little, too late' and I echo his call for Alex Chalk KC MP to bring in new leadership at the CCRC.

All there to protect their own colleagues.

Too little too late ...

BREAKING:

Andrew Malkinson's response to Criminal Cases Review Commission Chair Helen Pitcher's offer of an unreserved apology:

I'm writing about class and race in prison - I found that my ethnicity and accent meant I was often treated better. I'd love to talk with anyone who has stories to tell about different, better, or worse treatment.

This announcement could have huge implications and potentially uncover other miscarriages of justice.

Its timing is no coincidence. A major review of the CCRC's handling of Andy Malkinson's case is imminent and they are unlikely to come out of it well

My absolute pleasure to film with Will Mellor today. A truly great man and still fighting for the #PostOfficeScandal victims.
