Andrew Malkinson

Andrew Malkinson is the victim of a significant miscarriage of justice. He was wrongly convicted of rape in 2003 and spent 17 years in prison before his conviction was overturned. He is newsworthy because the man now accused of the rape, Paul Quinn, is currently on trial. Recent court proceedings have revealed that the original accuser admitted to police 22 years ago that she "wasn’t too sure it was the right man." Furthermore, the trial has heard that Quinn allegedly conducted an "exponential" increase in online searches about the Malkinson case when police began investigating a new suspect. The case highlights the devastating consequences of wrongful convictions and the importance of thorough investigations and reliable evidence in the justice system. It also raises questions about the handling of the original investigation and the appeals process.
