I agree that there tends to be louder public outcry when legitimate prosecutions are dropped than when wrongful convictions come to light, though there should be just as much outrage for both.

Accused Scot Empowering the Innocent (ETI) SpokenInjustice Ava Vidal THEE Receipt Queen🇧🇧🇩🇲 Robert Luther-Smith @Jane08Metcalfe Elizabeth Yeld Sean Bw Parker Jonathan King Part of the tragedy is that we don’t need to change the law (much), we have to apply the law we have fairly, without bias and as it was originally intended. For the most part it’s the interpretation of the law that has gone awry, not the law itself. (Women CAN rape though.)

Mental confinement may well be the most profound and limiting form of imprisonment known to humankind; sadly, it's far from rare. Dr. Naughton, I couldn't agree more; I only wish I had your gift for expressing it so poignantly 🙌

Brilliant analysis by Bristol grad Avery Thomson of mine & Ava Vidal’s ETI 2025 speeches: “In this sense, the justice system becomes not anti-accused or anti-accuser, but anti-victim.” Thank you, Avery. You captured the essence perfectly Empowering the Innocent (ETI)

Individual resignations won’t fix systemic failings. To truly challenge injustice, the CCRC needs top-down reform, bringing in lived experience, defence lawyers, grassroots activists and ex-investigative journalists, all appointed by an independent, multi-stakeholder panel.

youtube.com/shorts/a7sZZGE… Today’s Hope On Repeat quote comes from Arthur C. Clarke; a powerful reminder that justice often resides in the grey areas, just beyond the edge of what seems possible. Challenging a conviction built on uncertain ground isn’t naïve, it’s essential.
