Summary
Last week, Andrew Malkinson’s 2004 conviction for rape was quashed at the Court of Appeal after new DNA evidence implicated another man in the crime.
The 57-year-old spent 17 years in jail wrongly incarcerated, always protesting his innocence.
How did this happen? What now for Malkinson? Can he ever be recompensed?
Stories of our times made an award-nominated multi-part series on his case in 2021.
