  • Compensation denied for provably innocent appellant

    http://m.luton-dunstable.co.uk/Bedfo...ail/story.html

    Extract:
    "At his appeal in 2011, prosecution lawyers accepted that, had the statements been available in 2004, Mr Nkiwane would not even have been prosecuted.


    Appeal judges said there was a 'substantial body of credible evidence' that might have resulted in a jury deciding that Mr Nkiwane was not guilty.


    His application for compensation was refused by the Ministry of Justice on the basis that it had not been shown beyond reasonable doubt that he 'could not possibly have been convicted'".
