Andy Malkinson 'vindicated' after chair of miscarriages review body quits
Andy Malkinson says the former chair of the miscarriages review body had been "made accountable".
www.bbc.comHere’s the latest I can share based on recent reporting:
There have been ongoing updates about Andy Malkinson’s wrongful-conviction case, including his public comments on reform and the ongoing compensation process in the UK. For example, articles in mid-2025 covered his remarks on reform efforts and his frustrations with compensation timelines.[1][2][3]
By early 2025, he had started receiving compensation payments, with coverage noting the first payout and ongoing discussions about raising the £1 million cap on payouts to miscarriages of justice, as well as his broader advocacy for reform.[4][8][1]
What’s been emphasized in multiple sources is that, despite his exoneration in 2023, his compensation and the full redress process remained unresolved for some time, and he has continued to push for changes in the system, including the role of the CCRC and compensation framework.[2][3][4]
If you’d like, I can pull the most recent updates from major outlets (BBC, The Independent, APPEAL) and summarize any new developments, including dates, statements, and any changes to compensation timelines. I can also provide direct quotes with citations.
