The content you are hoping to see is no longer on hold. All legal remedies connected to this stage of the case have now been exhausted. The relevant parts of the conviction associated with this page are currently being prepared for publication through two parallel tracks: a gradual public release of materials, and continued efforts to recover stolen court documents through existing court claims. These publications will proceed step by step as materials are secured, organised, and appropriately redacted for public access.
Seeking Truth in the Face of Injustice
For years, we’ve been fighting to overturn a wrongful conviction—one built on flawed evidence and unanswered questions. This is not just about a legal error; it’s about a system that refuses to correct itself, even when the truth is right there in the files. Below is a timeline of our journey through a justice system that seems more focused on protecting its decisions than uncovering the truth.
On 28 August 2020, we applied to the Criminal Cases Review Commission (CCRC), asking them to review a conviction and sentence we believe to be a miscarriage of justice.
On 11 January 2023, the CCRC decided not to refer the case to the Court of Appeal. Their decision was based on reasons that do not match the actual evidence in the case file. We asked the CCRC to disclose the evidence they relied on in making that decision—especially because it seemed the prosecution had submitted material to the CCRC that was never part of the original trial. Shockingly, the CCRC refused to disclose it.
On 28 March 2023, we launched a judicial review, challenging the CCRC’s refusal to refer the case and their failure to disclose the evidence behind their decision. That application was refused on 4 August 2023. We pressed on and renewed the application, raising a clear point of law—but it was again refused on 1 December 2023.
We took the case to the Court of Appeal.
On 10 June 2024, the court refused permission to appeal.
Just two days later, on 12 June 2024, we filed an application to re-open that decision—once again on a point of law. That application is still waiting to be heard.
This fight isn’t just about one case—it’s about the right to fair process, transparency, and accountability. No one should have to go through this in the 21st century with so much advances and equality laws, but too many do. We won’t stop until justice is done, hence the minute of the casefile will be published publicly for the world to be our witness.
UPDATE 05 February 2026: The appeal process is closed at this stage. No further applications will be made to the court in relation to this appeal. The case now moves into a phase of structured revelation and exposure, proceeding along two parallel tracks: continued litigation on outstanding matters already before the courts, and the staged public release of materials and analysis documenting the history and substance of the case.
