The strangely under-reported story of Brian Buckle. Wrongly convicted of horrific sex crimes, gaoled for 32 years. Nearly dies of Covid. Family spend £500k on expert & legal costs & he's finally cleared. MoJ accepts his innocence. Compensation? £0.00. https://t.co/8ygT1Ew71T

Yesterday, we had the pleasure of welcoming back Paul Spence to our Hull office as we proudly handed over a cheque to P.A.U.L for Brain Recovery.

Over the past month, our colleagues have been busy fundraising through a bake sale and a 10k run, raising an incredible £358 for this vital local charity!

A huge thank you to Paul for stopping by to share his appreciation, and to Solicitor Rosie Jukes and Legal Assistant Ralph Gutierrez for their hard work and organisation.

We're proud to have supported the charity since 2016, and we’re excited to see our partnership continue to grow in the future.

Forgive me for continuing to plug this but I want this festival to succeed - it celebrates Fleet Street, journalism and words, three things I love. If you can come along I’d love to see you.

At a pre-trial hearing, the judge said there was a “heavy burden” on the prosecution, particularly given backlogs in the courts system.” What on earth are the CPS doing ????? - anger at ordeal of UK woman accused of illegal abortion https://t.co/kXnKXeHJLh

Peter Sullivan conviction overturned after 38 yrs: exoneration has been called the longest miscarriage of justice in British justice, comes 16 yrs after first applied to CCRC. The watchdog expresses 'regret' for not having referred case first time around https://t.co/0Oik6rkVc5

[Harriet Wistrich @HWistrich]

Something needs to change about the massive obstacles and delays in the process to challenge miscarriages of justice - what a distressing case - Peter Sullivan has murder conviction quashed after 38 years in jail https://t.co/YU4XzbZ6Mb

[Matthew Scott @Barristerblog]

What the ?!!? ? Why would the @ccrcupdate, which is desperately short of money, be sending its Chief Executive on luxury French hotels and INSEAD courses? How does that help uncover miscarriages of justice? @emilydugan's astonishing story. https://t.co/g9TLp6v855

"It's not unusual for leaders of high profile national organisations to attend advanced management courses." No it's not unusual, but it should be, & it's totally unnecessary. And their fluent & pompous management-speak shows they attended the classes.

Solidarity. Full support for your campaign for an open inquiry into the policing at Orgreave on 18 June 1984. The truth will out.

A jury at the Old Bailey has acquitted six young Black boys of all charges after rejecting the prosecution’s attempt to convict them of murder under controversial joint enterprise laws https://t.co/u8YWywO9l6
