17-year wrongful imprisonment victim, Andrew Malkinson, could have been released a decade earlier due to CCRC's failings; CCRC admits fault and apologizes.
Andrew Malkinson, who spent 17 years in prison for a rape he did not commit, could have been released a decade earlier due to key failings by the Criminal Cases Review Commission (CCRC). The CCRC admitted failing Malkinson and offered an "unreserved apology." Malkinson's conviction relied solely on eyewitness evidence and came despite there being no DNA evidence linking him to the crime. The CCRC's handling of Malkinson's case has raised concerns over the fairness of the organization's investigative procedures.
