The issue of wrongful convictions has taken centre stage in the UK.  

The high profile Post Office Horizon scandal has dominated headlines. And the case of Andrew Malkinson - who was finally cleared of rape in 2023 after spending seventeen years in prison for a crime he didn’t commit - shone a renewed spotlight on what can happen when our criminal justice system doesn’t work as it should.

Claire McGourlay runs the Manchester Innocence Project.  In this podcast Claire looks back at all the things that went wrong to lead to the wrongful conviction of Andrew Malkinson.

She explains why his case is so important in the pursuit of innocence for those wrongly jailed.
