Andy Malkinson 'vindicated' after chair of miscarriages review body quits
Andy Malkinson says the former chair of the miscarriages review body had been "made accountable".
www.bbc.comHere’s what I can share right now about Andy Malkinson (also spelled Andrew Malkinson):
- He was released in mid-2023 after the Court of Appeal overturned his conviction for rape, based on new DNA evidence that implicated another person. This marked a major wrongful-conviction case in the UK, after spending about 17 years in prison.[3][6]
- Since his release, he has been awaiting government compensation related to the wrongful conviction. Reports from late 2024 into 2025 indicate ongoing discussions and delays in the compensation process, with his legal team and supporters calling for timely interim payments and a resolution to the settlement.[2][4][9]
- Public coverage during 2023–2025 includes media appearances and statements emphasizing the broader miscarriage of justice issues and the need for transparency and reform in disclosure and compensation processes.[5][6]
- Notable developments include coverage of his case by APPEAL, updates on the Commission for Criminal Cases Review (CCRC) processes, and calls for improvements to the compensation framework for those exonerated after wrongful convictions.[6][9][3]
If you’d like, I can:
- Summarize a timeline of key events with dates.
- Pull the latest verified updates and provide direct excerpts.
- Create a brief briefing with who’s involved (MOJ, CCRC, APPEAL, his legal team) and the current status of compensation efforts.
