A man who served 17 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit gets an apology from UK review bodyFILE - Andrew Malkinson on July 26, 2023. The British man who spent 17 years in prison for a rape he didn't commit has received an unreserved apology from the U.K.s review body that twice rejected his attempts to have his case referred to the Court of Appeal.

Following an independent review of its involvement, the commission’s chair Helen Pitcher said it was “clear” that the body had failed Malkinson. Malkinson had been found guilty of the brutal 2003 attack on a 33-year-old woman in Greater Manchester who had picked him out from a police lineup. At the time of his trial, there was no DNA evidence linking Malkinson to the crime.
