JB: There are other ways of doing this. We don't need to wait for Strasbourg to decide this one way or the other and Parliament can decide to reform the area independently.

Sam Hallam and Victor Nealon's cases where new evidence, but unable to demonstrate conclusively their innocence. JUSTICE is arguing this questions the validity of the acquittal. For everyday people, they may be likely to think a person guilty when the acquittal is not accepted.

JB: Massive hurdles in both the CCRC and before the Court of Appeal. If those are cleared, there is euphoria as their convictions can be quashed. But they still have to convince the Secretary of State of their innocence: not the question which has been asked to that point.

People who can been wrongfully convicted have been asked if they had received compensation - as if it makes people more legitimate than those that have not. But the law - under s.133 Criminal Justice Act 1988 - makes it almost impossible to get compensation.

Compensation assists in helping people to put their lives back together. Those that receive compensation were able to provide a roof over their heads and rebuild their 'social capital'.

Update: MPs will discuss the proposal of reasoned verdicts this week, with @BarrySheerman raising the "serious" issue with @APPGMJ colleagues - but @MoJGovUK is concerned about the effects it could have on trials and has "no plans to make these changes": inews.co.uk/news/mps-parli…
