INUK's call for the reform of the Criminal Cases Review Commission on The Guardian's 'Justice on Trial' series

Innocence Network UK's (INUK) call for the reform of the Criminal Cases Review Commission was the subject of two articles in the The Guardian's 'Justice on Trial' series on 27 March 2012.

Criminal Cases Review Commission must be reformed, say campaigners

Lawyers and former CCRC members list 45 cases of 'plausible' claims of innocence that have had applications turned down

Miscarriages of justice? Cases that campaigners want CCRC to reconsider

These are some of the 45 cases campaigners say contain plausible claims of innocence and require investigation. Details are drawn from evidence heard in open court, witness statements, forensic reports, and a questionnaire filled in by each applicant. According to Innocence Network UK, the CCRC has rejected each case at least once.
