Description

Labour MP Chris Mullin who campaigns against miscarriages of justice reacts to the Court of Appeal quashing the conviction of Judith Ward for planting an IRA bomb on a coach on the M62 killing 12 people, with judges saying the original evidence was a catalogue of misrepresentation. Judith had been in prison nearly 20 years. Simon Israel asks the questions.
