Until now most innocent victims of miscarriages of justice (Barry George; Sion Jenkins) were told they had to "prove" their innocence (an overturned conviction was not enough).
Yet another example of the total reversal of the "innocent until proven guilty" approach.
Now lawyers are trying to get the Supreme Court to admit that innocence is the norm and wrongly convicted victims should get compensation.
It will be a travesty if it doesn't find this acceptable.

and that is exactly what happened in the case I posted of the Catholic college head.

Law firms and the police were allowed to post huge adverts seeking 'victims'..the police used that word as did law firms pointing out the compensation available.

In a country town with huge unemployment- like an invitation.

I see the Court agreed that they should be compensated ( as 'victims' no doubt are)

media still dictates the policies though.
