Description

Alastair Lawson-Tancred reports on a High Court ruling that Home Office department C3 must hand over documents relating to 4 high profile appeal cases, evidence their lawyers say will free those suffering miscarriages of justice. Includes reaction from Jim Nichol, solicitor for the 3 men convicted of the murder of Carl Bridgewater; Tim O’Malley, jury chairman on the original trial; Ann Whelan, mother of one of the men convicted, Michael Hickey. The ruling will also affect Jeremy Bamber who murdered 5 members of his family, rapist Sammy Davis and armed robber Paul Malone. Audio balance uneven.
