It's a sad case, the media don't help. The police and legal eagles have too much pride and ego to admit their fuck ups.
No amount of money will unravel years and years of wasted life unless someone builds a time machine. The money will come from the public purse, the government don't have their own cash.
I knew some colourful characters, whom went to prison for the crimes they didn't do but got away with the crimes they did do.
What I can gather Andrew Malkinson was a drug addict and was known for petty crimes, however the police went to the person they knew with a history.
It kind of reminds me one of Tubs brothers, he was the only sibling of Tubs, who was known to the police and the streets he lived near.
The police got him done for one cannabis plant on the window sill. He was done for both possession, money laundering and dealing. He got 5 years because he had heat with the fozzers. He has never done a joint since.
Tell me what is so great in Great Britain? |

Whole Truth (not Barmy) |
Falsely jailed 15 years Paddy Hill (Birmingham Six): "The police told us, 'We know you didn't do it, but we don't care!' "
"The whole system is rotten, they can't even spell 'Justice', let alone dispense it!" |

And a fascinating Guest Edit on Today's BBC Radio 4 show - like Malkinson, prison gave me Diabetes. Like Andrew - no compensation (of course, I've not yet had my wrongful conviction quashed). Andrew suffers from anger problems which I've never had - I find anger a debilitating condition - but I do have anger on behalf of the thousands, like Andrew, who will never have their appalling miscarriages of justice exposed.
My appeal (still ongoing, after 23 years and two other acquittals) partly depends on Malkinson's acquittal as the mighty Bob Woffinden included both Malkinson and my case in his book The Nicholas Cases on the ten worst miscarriages of justice in the last 30 years. |

The second is a complete transformation of the culture and practice of the Criminal Cases Review Commission, which means fresh leadership and a new accountability mechanism for challenging the body’s shoddy decision-making. |

Additionally, the lawyers representing a person protesting their innocence must be given access to all the written material the police gathered, not just the material the prosecution wanted to use in court. |
