A judge has been appointed to chair a public inquiry set to examine the circumstances and handling of the Andrew Malkinson miscarriage of justice case, it was revealed today.
His case was referred to the Court of Appeal in January by the Criminal Cases Review Commission , which investigates potential miscarriages of justice, after new DNA evidence was discovered. Then, in July, three top judges sitting at the Court of Appeal quashed his rape conviction 20 years later. "All agencies have pledged their full co-operation to the inquiry. Mr Malkinson met with the newly appointed chair and the Lord Chancellor to discuss the terms of reference and running of the inquiry."
Her Honor Judge Sarah Munro KC said: "I am honoured to be appointed to chair the Andrew Malkinson Inquiry. Mr Malkinson's wrongful convictions for horrific crimes he did not commit have cost him nearly two decades of freedom – time he has been forced to spend protesting his innocence and fighting for justice – and have had a devastating impact on his life.
